Sacagawea Dollar

Brief Description

The obverse features a profile of Sacagawea carrying her infant son, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, on her back. It includes the inscriptions 'LIBERTY', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', and the year 2000.

Historical Significance

Introduced to replace the Susan B. Anthony dollar, this coin honors Sacagawea, the Shoshone woman who served as a guide and interpreter for the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804-1806). The coin's distinct golden color was intended to help the public differentiate it from the quarter-dollar.

Estimated Value

$1.00 (Face Value) - High-grade or specific rare varieties like the 'Cheerios' or 'Wounded Eagle' can be worth significantly more.

Care Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning the coin with chemicals or abrasives, as this can damage the luster and decrease numismatic value. Handle by the edges to prevent skin oils from causing discoloration.
