Overview

Historical significance

The Sacagawea Dollar was introduced to replace the Susan B. Anthony dollar, which was often confused with the quarter. Sacagawea was chosen for the obverse to represent Native American culture and her vital role in the Lewis and Clark Expedition. This coin also holds historical significance as the first U.S. coin to feature a Native American woman. The 'golden' color was chosen to make it easily distinguishable from other coinage.

Estimated value

For circulation strike coins from 2000, the value is typically $1 in face value. Uncirculated examples can fetch $1-$5 depending on grade and mint mark. Special varieties (like the 'Wounded Eagle' or 'Cheerios' dollars) can be significantly more valuable, ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars, but these are rare.

Care & preservation

To care for this coin, handle it by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin, which can tarnish the surface. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in a non-PVC coin holder, flip, or slab to protect it from environmental damage and physical scratches. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can devalue it.
