Overview

The obverse features a portrait of Sacagawea, the Shoshone woman who helped the Lewis and Clark Expedition, carrying her infant son Jean Baptiste Charbonneau on her back.

Introduced in 2000 to replace the Susan B. Anthony dollar, this coin honors Sacagawea's contribution to US history. Since 2009, the reverse design changes annually to commemorate different aspects of Native American heritage.

Estimated value

$1.00 (Face value for circulated coins; higher for specific rare mint errors or high-grade proofs)

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place within a protective holder to prevent oxidation/tarnishing of the manganese brass layer. Avoid cleaning with abrasive chemicals as it can damage the finish.
