Sacagawea Dollar (Reverse)

Brief Description

The reverse side features a soaring bald eagle surrounded by 17 stars, representing the number of states at the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition. It is golden in color with a smooth edge.

Historical Significance

Introduced in 2000, this coin replaced the Susan B. Anthony dollar. The obverse features Sacagawea, the Shoshone woman who helped guide Lewis and Clark. It was the first US dollar coin to have a golden color, achieved through its manganese-brass alloy.

Estimated Value

$1.00 (Face Value) in circulated condition; high-grade proofs or rare error coins can be worth more.

Care Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place inside a protective coin holder or acid-free paper to prevent oxidation and discoloration of the manganese finish. Avoid cleaning or polishing as this can damage the numismatic surface and reduce its value.
