Newbie here, Sacagawea question

My dad recently passed away and had a few coins. While sorting his stuff, I came across a mint box of a labeled 2007 Sacagawea D golden dollar roll. The coins on both ends are silver colored, not golden like the others. Any advice where I could find out more about this? I know very little about coins, trying to learn. Thanks in advance for any help!

    Welcome to the forum! :)

    There is a chance they may have just toned a bit from 13 years of storage.
    Photos may help get more replies.

    The roll doesn't have a lot of extra value as a roll, you may want to open them and see if more coins inside the roll are discolored. If it is only the end coins, it is toning from storage.

  • I am also not a professional photographer😳. Thank you for the condolences, I miss him! He would probably not be happy I have them out of the box without gloves 😬. I just thought they were weird because there is such a noticeable difference from the others and they were all stored the same. Both ends of the P are heads, Both of the D are tails, that is both ends. Thank you so much for your response!

    Both seem to be in the proper color spectrum for golden dollars.
    Looks like just a slight amount of toning from storage.

    Edited to add: Great photos :)

  • Thank you for your response. Is there a reputable resource to learn about toning?

    Toning on coins is quite an in depth subject.
    Most of the time bright or unusual colors are needed for it to be worth more money.
    Kinda like this.
