Sacagawea Dollar

Brief Description

The obverse features Sacagawea, a Shoshone woman, carrying her infant son Jean Baptiste Charbonneau on her back. The reverse typically features a soaring bald eagle.

Historical Significance

Introduced to replace the Susan B. Anthony dollar, this coin honors Sacagawea's vital role as a guide and interpreter for the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804–1806). It was the first 'golden dollar' used in modern US circulation.

Estimated Value

$1.00 - $3.00 (Most 2000-dated coins in circulated condition are worth face value. Unique varieties like the 'Cheerios Dollar' or 'Wounded Eagle' can be worth significantly more.)

Care Instructions

Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin as this can cause permanent surface damage and reduce numismatic value. Store in a cool, dry place inside an acid-free holder or sleeve to prevent oxidation and 'milky' spots.
