Overview

A golden-colored dollar coin featuring the Shoshone woman Sacagawea carries her infant son, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, on the obverse and a soaring bald eagle on the reverse.

Historical significance

Introduced in 2000 to replace the Susan B. Anthony dollar, it was the first US circulating coin to feature a woman of color and a mother with a child. It was designed to have the same weight and size as the Anthony dollar but a distinct golden color.

Obverse (front)

Portrayal of Sacagawea in profile by designer Glenna Goodacre, carrying her son Jean Baptiste Charbonneau on her back. Inscriptions: LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and the year.

Reverse (back)

A soaring bald eagle surrounded by 17 stars representing the states at the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Designed by Thomas D. Rogers Sr. Inscriptions: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and ONE DOLLAR.

Estimated value

$1.00 - $1.05 in circulated condition; $3.00 - $10.00 in high-grade Mint State.

What drives this coin's value

Condition/Grade is the primary factor. Most circulated examples are only worth face value. Special varieties or high-grade uncirculated specimens command premiums.

Grade assessment

Circulated (appears to have moderate wear and typical brownish oxidation common for this alloy)

Mintage & rarity

Common; billions were minted between 2000-2001.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for the correct weight (8.1g) and ensure the edge is smooth. Counterfeits for common dates are rare, but verify the 'golden' luster which should not look like cheap paint.

Notable varieties & errors

The 2000-P 'Cheerios Dollar' (with enhanced tail feather detail) and the 2000-P 'Wounded Eagle' (die crack through eagle's belly) are high-value collector items.

Similar coins

Susan B. Anthony Dollar (same size but silver color), Presidential Dollars (same color but different obverses), and various Native American Dollar series coins (same obverse but different reverse themes).

Care & preservation

Do not clean or polish the coin, as this removes the original surface and reduces numismatic value. Store in a PVC-free flip or capsule to prevent the manganese-brass from developing dark, unattractive spotting.
