Coin Collecting NewsUnited States Mint to Publicly Display Never-Before-Seen Gold “Space Coins†In Milwaukee
The United States Mint will display for the first time 12 gold proof Sacagawea Golden Dollars that flew aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia in July 1999. The 12 gold versions of the circulating Golden Dollars will be unveiled at the American Numismatic Association’s World’s Fair of Money® in Milwaukee, the largest coin show in the nation. Until now, the gold “space coins” have been stored at Fort Knox. They never have been seen in public, and similar gold coins were never sold, making them extremely rare. Although the coins’ value has not been established, they are very unique as historic artifacts.
