Overview

A golden-colored dollar coin featuring the portrait of Sacagawea on the obverse.

Historical significance

Introduced in 2000 to replace the Susan B. Anthony dollar, it was the first U.S. coin to feature a composition that gives it a distinct golden color. It honors Sacagawea, the Shoshone woman who helped the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Obverse (front)

Portrait of Sacagawea carrying her infant son Jean Baptiste Charbonneau. Inscriptions: LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST.

Reverse (back)

Varies by year. 2000-2008 features a soaring Bald Eagle. 2009-present features rotating Native American themes. Inscriptions: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ONE DOLLAR.

Estimated value

$1 in circulated condition; $2-$5 in uncirculated (MS-63 to MS-65) condition.

What drives this coin's value

Mint state grade, specific year varieties (like the 2000-P 'Cheerio' eagle), and high-grade registry set quality.

Grade assessment

Uncirculated to About Uncirculated (based on general luster, despite image blur).

Mintage & rarity

Very common (billions struck between 2000 and 2001, lower mintage for collectors afterward).

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for magnetic properties (it should not be magnetic). Verify weight and diameter. Replicas often have poor detail in the hair or feathers.

Notable varieties & errors

2000-P 'Wounded Eagle' (die gouges on eagle) and the 2000-P 'Cheerio' Dollar (enhanced tail feathers).

Similar coins

Presidential Dollars (which share the color and size but feature U.S. Presidents) and Susan B. Anthony Dollars (which are silver-colored).

Care & preservation

Do not clean or polish, as this removes the natural patina and lowers numismatic value. Store in a PVC-free flip or capsule to prevent spotting.
