NGC Certifies First Sacagawea-Presidential Dollar Mule
Sacagawea Dollar and a
Presidential Dollar.
This incredible error, which paired a Sacagawea Dollar obverse with a Presidential Dollar reverse, was struck in 2014 at the
Denver Mint. It is now graded NGC Mint Error AU 58 with a notation of “Discovery Coin” to recognize its important place in numismatic history.
The Sacagawea Dollar series began in 2000 and is named after the Native American woman who appears on its obverse. The Presidential Dollar series began in 2007, using the same planchets as the Sacagawea series: 26.5 millimeters in diameter, 8.1 grams in weight and consisting of a copper core surrounded by manganese brass. The edge of this mule sheds some light on its history: It bears the year 2014 and the “D” mintmark of Denver.
