Since I Couldn't Get Near the Sacagawea Coins Yet...

Since I couldn't get anywhere near the newly revealed 22 karat solid gold Sacagawea Dollars due to the press of ...well, the press, I figured I'd get a close up photo of the folks getting the first close up photos! There were at least half a dozen videographers there, which I thought was a pretty good turnout considering that the average joe probably doesn't give a hoot about solid gold Sacagaweas that flew in the space shuttle one time. To be honest, these coins didn't exactly raise my blood pressure either, although I have always been a little bit curious about whether a solid gold Sacagawea would look any better than the base metal kind.
