- Goodacre Finish – The Mint struck 5,000 coins just for designer Glenna Goodacre, who requested her $5,000 commission be paid in Sacagawea dollars from the first year of issue. These coins were struck on burnished planchets using highly-polished dies that gave the coins a Prooflike surface. They were slabbed and certified, but not graded, by the Independent Coin Grading Company (ICG). In 2010, a dealer purchased the remaining 2,000 coins and had them graded by PCGS and put into PCGS holders.
2005-2008 P&D
In addition to traditional circulation-grade issues, from 2005-2008 the Philadelphia and Denver Mints produced Sacagawea dollars with special satin, or matte, finishes. These coins were included in special Uncirculated Mint Sets and were not issued for circulation.
