The E-Sylum:  Volume 7, Number 51, December 19, 2004, Article 12

GOLDEN DOLLAR ARTICLE COULD CAUSE STAMPEDE

  Bill  Rosenblum writes: "The Denver Post of December 12th
  had an article titled "Unpopular Coin Now Golden. The 
  article, as usual for a mainstream publication by 
  someone who knows little about numismatics, contained 
  numerous half truths that will of course lead the public
  to believe that their Sacagawea dollars are worth "as 
  much as $500 among collectors". I can see people lining 
  up at coin stores trying to sell the coins for hundreds 
  of dollars and when told what they are really worth will,
  of course, be angry at the coin dealer.  Both James 
  Taylor of ICG and Doug Mudd, curator of the ANA museum 
  are quoted in the article or perhaps paraphrased."
