Overview

The obverse features Sacagawea, a Shoshone woman, carrying her infant son Jean Baptiste Charbonneau on her back. The reverse typically features a soaring bald eagle.

Historical significance

Introduced to replace the Susan B. Anthony dollar, this coin honors Sacagawea's vital role as a guide and interpreter for the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804–1806). It was the first 'golden dollar' used in modern US circulation.

Estimated value

$1.00 - $3.00 (Most 2000-dated coins in circulated condition are worth face value. Unique varieties like the 'Cheerios Dollar' or 'Wounded Eagle' can be worth significantly more.)

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin as this can cause permanent surface damage and reduce numismatic value. Store in a cool, dry place inside an acid-free holder or sleeve to prevent oxidation and 'milky' spots.
