Overview

A golden-colored dollar coin featuring Sacagawea and her infant son on the obverse and an American bald eagle in flight on the reverse.

Historical significance

Introduced to replace the Susan B. Anthony dollar, the series honors the historic Shoshone guide Sacagawea and later expanded to celebrate the important contributions of Native American tribes and individuals to U.S. history.

Obverse (front)

Features the portrait of Sacagawea carrying her infant son, Jean Baptiste, designed by Glenna Goodacre, with the word 'LIBERTY' and 'IN GOD WE TRUST'.

Reverse (back)

Features a soaring bald eagle surrounded by seventeen stars (or changing annual designs starting in 2009 for the Native American $1 Coin Program), designed by Thomas Cleveland.

Estimated value

$1.00 - $3.00 for standard business strikes in circulated to uncirculated condition; special collector editions and proofs can be worth more.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags
