Default F mint mark on dollar coin?

I'm pretty sure I see the letter F under the date of a golden dollar. It
was a sacagawea from around 1995. I don't have the coin in hand for the
exact year, though it really did look like a F under the date.

Could it be something else that kind of looks like a F?

People who post on RCC to say they have a Sacajawea dollar "from
around 1995" should have a Red Book power-nailed to their forehead and
then have their index fingers klopped-off with a large bolt cutter.
Or something like that. BdB is totally correct to give the OP total
****.

Barney, Sacagawea dollars weren't struck until 2000. In fact, the
U.S. didn't strike any dollar coins in 1995. The last dollar coins
struck were Eisenhowers (1971-1978), Susan B. Anthony (1979-1981,
1999), and Sacagaweas (2000-present). Before anyone jumps on me, I
know all about Sacs were struck from 2000-2008 and were then
designated Native American dollars from 2009 on.

And what about the Presidential dollars there??? They are dollar
coins, not chopped liver.

OK, let me take a guess here. I bet it isn't a Sacagawea dollar, but a Buffalo/Indian Head nickel. The 'F' would be the designer's initial, for James Earle Fraser. Like I said, just a guess.

how would the OP confuse a dollar coin with a nickel - and golden finish vs
"nickel" finish.
