If you happen to get an uncirculated or proof 2009 Native American, it might be worth around $10 if in good condition, and significantly more if in perfect condition. You can go to this page to get value information on this coin:

With hundreds of millions being minted, there’s very little chance one you found on the floor (let alone got in change) will appreciate in value. Better to buy a nice uncirculated or proof coin, but even these won’t skyrocket because there are just too many of them.

I found one of these coins on the floor and thought it was fake because there’s no year on the obverse. After a bit of research I know I have one of the 2009 coins. I am trying to determine if it is in my best interest to hold on to it for the future possibility that it might carry more value, or to just use it for the dollar it is supposedly currently worth.

Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?

This edge lettering just seems like a fad and is difficult for even a well-sighted person to read. If the individual coins see any real circulation, won’t the edge lettering be quick to wear away? Not the most important issue in the world and I appreciate the effort to fit more artistic detail into the coins, however.

IF you did your research (try starting at http://www.USMint.gov, for example) you’ll find the answers:

1) The date is on the edge, just like the Presidential dollars

2) Despite the general public’s unfamiliarity with the coin it’s a regular circulation issue and is worth exactly $1 if you got it in change or from a bank. It’s not really rare, just lower in mintage than other years. An uncirculated or proof one would be the only type to be worth any premium.

I was given one as change and noticed it didn’t have a year Date and decided to do some research. Found this page. Not concerned about the date, but hey, is it a collector’s item based on the few amount minted or is it worth just a dollar?

WHAT A GREAT IDEA. TOO BAD SOME OF THIS INTEREST IN THE FIRST PEOPLE OF THIS NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT DIDN’T MAKE MOST OF THE TEXTBOOKS WHEN WE WERE ALL GOING TO SCHOOL. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD INVEST IN GETTING RID OF THAT SHAMEFUL STATUE IN HART PLAZA OF CADILLAC. THEN GO ONTO MOUNT RUSHMORE, AND BY THE WAY…DEFINE FOUNDING FATHERS.

Thanks so much. I just bought one and it’s my first US coin purchase. I’m Canadian and have mainly Canadian coins from our mint. This Sacagawea coin is beautiful but I like the history behind it too.

The year is on the edge, the same as the Presidential dollars.

IMO taking the date off the obverse leaves the design unbalanced but no one asked me about the design ;=)

Can anyone tell me why there is no year stamped into the 2009 coin? Will it be recognized only by the reverse design? Thanks.
