An Excerpt From Teletrade Notes by Brad Johnson - The Life of Sacagawea 
by Carly on Tuesday, April 04, 2000

Sacagawea is represented on the new US mint Dollar released this year, but who was Sacagawea? Sacagawea was the Shoshone Indian who assisted the historic Lewis and Clark expedition. Between 1804-1806, while still a young girl, she helped the explorers cross the Northern Great Plains to the Pacific Ocean. While on the journey she had a son, who is also depicted with her image on the coin. Sacagawea's help saved the famous Lewis and Clark expedition on more than one occasion. For example, she helped Lewis and Clark obtain the horses they needed to continue their journey. It might be safe to say that without her help, Lewis and Clark would have surely perished. Noted historian Stephen Ambrose said Lewis and Clark owed their success to the American Indians, especially two Indian women. The first was an unnamed woman talked an Indian War Party out of killing the white men and then Sacajawea who not only procured horses in a time of desperate need but also provided navigation and diplomacy along the way. More statues, streams, lakes, landmarks, parks, songs, ballads, and poems honor this young woman than any other woman in American history. Ironically there are no records or drawings depicting or describing her features. The committee who were chosen to design the coin picked a model whom they collectively felt best represented the image of what Sacajawea must have looked like.

In a recent USA Weekend article, auctionwatch.com named Teletrade and Greg Manning Auctions among their "best bets" in internet auction sites. The cover story in the January 2, 2000 edition of the nationally syndicated newspaper magazine, listed three recommended auction websites in each of five of the hottest collectible categories. Teletrade was recognized under the category of Coins and Stamps. Greg Manning Auctions was recognized, under the category of Fine Antiques. Teletrade has been holding real-time auctions since 1987 when we introduced our touch-tone telephony and computer technology. We have since merged the original technology with simultaneous internet bidding. Our mission is to provide an innovative yet safe auction experience that protects both buyers and consignors, and their confidentiality, at all times. We feel that our auction expertise, as well as our product knowledge and high level of customer service, can not be matched.
