? Looks like a normal dollar coin (for that year) to me.
Welcome to the board! There are a number of different Sacagawea designs. It is a great idea of a type set to collect to get started. The key will be the Cheerio dollar.

Native American dollar is what you have. They started making them with a different design on the reverse, I believe. Somebody will correct me if I an wrong.
CONGRATULATIONS.
Welcome to the Board, Mr. Mike Wallace also has Information @ smalldollars.com if you would like to "Learn" more about your coin along with many others in that series, Yes they are fun to collect and you won't break the bank putting a set together! Have fun and Keep on collecting!!
Nice find!
I also recommend the collecting of the series. A beautiful design (in my opinion) and very affordable, too. A complete set of proofs is very reasonable at around 5 bucks per coin.
Welcome to the forum!
What you found is a 2010 Sacagawea dollar. The series started in 2000 and is still being minted. Kids love them!

The public should love them too. The country would save $500,000/day if we got rid of the $1 bill (a drop in the ocean, i know, but still...Lots of drops make up an ocean)

@djbcon .... Welcome aboard.....The Sacajawea dollar is a popular item with different reverse designs. It is a good series to collect and reasonable prices... actually possible to build a set at $1 per coin...Cheers, RickO
The Sacagawea Historical Society spelled Glenna Goodacre's name Gelnna Goodcare.
That's pretty bad if I noticed it.
BTW...One of my favorite modern coin designs.

But the wording on the Planchett is that unusual for the coin???
SACAJAWEA ONE DOLLAR COIN
Thank you all for your comments; but no one has said anything about the wording on life or Planchett!!!
?? That year (as do most) has lettering on the edge. Is that what you are talking about?
The date and Mint mark, at least, should be returned the it's rightful place on the obverse.
The design was created to incorporate the date. It looks weird without it. But it got swept to the edge by an overzealous politician when they were trying to unclutter the presidential dollar coins and free up space on the Native American dollars.
No.
From 2000-2008 the date was on the obverse. From 2009 to date the date is on the edge (which you call planchet for some reason)

Welcome to the forums I also share your interest in the Native American dollar coins. I'd like to throw down a little challenge for you if you choose to accept try to find the years 2002 through 2008 in circulation. Those years are hard to find in circulated condition and also the more recent years like I believe 2013 to the present. Have fun!
I will look at the rest of my Sacagawea coins Thank you
PUT THE DATE AND MINTMARK ON THE OBVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!
The OP says that his coin says 2009 and yet it is a 2010 reverse. Show us a photo of the edge with 2009.
