Coin World Online is reporting that NGC has certified a 2014-D dollar with the undated Sacagawea dollar obverse and the Statue of Liberty reverse found on Presidential Dollars! The coin is slightly circulated, having been found in a group of used dollars obtained at a bank.
Check your rolls and bags and who knows, maybe even Mint Sets just in case!

I saw that a day ago. I wonder if it was shenanigans?

I'll be honest, I've been asleep for so long on this series, I don't think I would have recognized it as a mule without this article pointing it out to me.
These coins circulate so infrequently that it is entirely plausible there are more out there to be discovered. Since it's a Denver issue, I don't think I'll be rushing to any east coast banks looking for rolls to search, but good luck to those inthe hunt.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

My bank routinely saves me all dollar coins and half dollars. I keep hoping to find a Cheerios dollar in the wild. Yeah, right!
Even though I could drive to the Denver Mint in less than half an hour the stray dollars I see are at least one-third P-mint coins. And I find a fair number of the modern years that were only released in Mint Sets, rolls and bags. So, a 2014 Mule is possible.

Wow... What a cool find. I guess a trip to the Post Office is in order...Do they still give change in Sac/Prez bucks? Cheers, RickO

COOL!

By 2014 weren't all dollar coins available from the mint only?
If so, the collector who released this one might well have others.
I guess it is time to start taking all the small dollars the tellers are always trying to foist on me.

It's amazing that the Quarter Sac mules have sold for over $100,000!

Pretty cool find. I passed on the earlier mules at auction thinking they might get confiscated - should have jumped in with both feet!

If I was that person who discovered it. I would sell it for 25,000 and move on before more are discovered.

Had to come from a mint order, either bag or roll. A collector probably looking for missing edge lettering who spends those with lettering.
does anyone know if the mint still ships $1000 bricks of dollar coins to fed reserve banks for distribution like they did with the early presidential dollars? Found hundreds of Missing Edge Lettering Washington dollars from such bricks from my local banks when the Prezzies first came out.

I can’t get excited for an error form a series I can’t get excited for. Coins that don’t circulate are more like commemoratives than currency and commemorative do next to nothing for me. Might as well be collector plates

And how does the TPG know it's a SAC? Could be one of four different 2014 presidential dollars with a SAC obverse.

Appears so. Purpose of the question was to point out that maybe the search should include rolls and bags of the four president issues for that year.

I thought that was obvious. Check any and all 2014-D dollars.
