Overview

A golden-colored US dollar coin featuring Sacagawea on the obverse and varying themes on the reverse (the image appears to show the 2011 'Wampum Belt' or 2012 'Trade Routes' design).

Historical significance

Introduced in 2000 to replace the Susan B. Anthony dollar, it was the first US circulating coin to depict a Native American woman. Since 2009, the series has featured different annually rotating reverse designs celebrating Native American contributions.

Obverse (front)

Features a portrait of Sacagawea carrying her infant son, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau. Designer: Glenna Goodacre.

Reverse (back)

The specific 2011 design (likely shown) depicts the Wampum Belt commemorating the Great Law of Peace, or the 2012 design showing trade routes. Designer: Various (rotating annually).

Estimated value

$1 in circulated condition, $2-$5 in high-grade uncirculated.

What drives this coin's value

Condition/grade and specific year of issue. Key varieties (like the 2000-P 'Cheerios' or 'Wounded Eagle') are significantly more valuable.

Grade assessment

Appears to be Circulated to About Uncirculated based on visible luster and blurring, though image quality is low.

Mintage & rarity

Common; hundreds of millions were minted for circulation, though later years were only minted for collectors.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for correct weight and a magnetic response (the coin should not be magnetic). Look for crisp edge lettering on post-2009 issues.

Notable varieties & errors

2000-P 'Wounded Eagle' reverse, 2000-P 'Cheerios' dollar with enhanced tail feathers, and muled errors.

Care & preservation

Do not clean or polish the coin, as this damages the surface and lowers numismatic value. Store in a cool, dry place in a non-PVC coin holder.
