United States Dollar Coin Appraisal

United States Native American $1 Dollar Coin (Sacagawea style obverse)

This item is a United States one-dollar coin, commonly referred to as a dollar coin. The obverse depicts the Statue of Liberty, holding her torch aloft in one hand and presumably a tablet in the other, though only her upper torso and head are distinctly visible. The design features a radiant sun-like crown or diadem on her head. The denomination ' $1 ' is clearly visible to the left of the Statue of Liberty's arm. Inscriptions 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' curve along the top edge of the coin, with 'UNITED STATES' mostly visible on the left and 'OF AMERICA' on the right. The coin appears to be made of a golden-colored metal, consistent with the copper-manganese brass clad composition used for modern dollar coins in the United States. Its size is typical of a dollar coin, approximately 26.5 mm in diameter, and circular in shape. The coin's surface shows some signs of circulation, with minor wear and possibly some surface dirt or toning that gives it a slightly muted luster. No significant dents, scratches, or damage are immediately apparent from the provided image, suggesting a circulated but reasonably well-preserved condition. The design details are still sharp. This particular design, featuring the Statue of Liberty on the obverse and Native American themes on the reverse (based on the provided context of 'Sacagawea style obverse' and general knowledge of US dollar coin series), places it as part of the Native American $1 Coin Program, initiated in 2009. The specific year of mintage is not visible in this image. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard mint quality for circulating currency.
