The value of a 2000 Sacagawea one dollar coin depends heavily on its specific features and condition.
- “Cheerios” Dollars: These rare coins were included in select boxes of Cheerios cereal as part of a promotional campaign. They are easily recognizable by the enhanced detail in the eagle’s tail feathers on the reverse. Only a limited number of these coins were produced, with values ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 or even higher depending on their condition.
- “Wounded Eagle” Sacagawea Dollar (Error Coin): This error coin features a die gouge on the eagle’s breast, resembling a spear or wound. Only about 100 are believed to exist, making them highly sought after by collectors. Depending on the coin’s condition, values can range from $250 to $5,000 or more.
- Mule Error Coins: These errors occur when a die from one coin is accidentally paired with a die from another coin. For example, some 2000 Sacagawea dollars were mistakenly struck with the obverse of a U.S. quarter-dollar. These are exceptionally rare, with one example selling for $102,000 at auction. Another example features a Sacagawea obverse with a Presidential Dollar reverse and is also extremely valuable, with one selling for $84,000 at auction.
- Goodacre Presentation Dollars: Sculptor Glenna Goodacre, who designed the Sacagawea Dollar’s obverse, received her $5,000 payment in specially finished Sacagawea Dollars. These coins have a distinct, glossy, prooflike finish.
- Standard Circulation Strikes (P and D mint marks): Most 2000 Sacagawea dollars in circulated condition are only worth their face value of $1.
- Standard Circulation Strikes (P and D mint marks) (Uncirculated Condition): Even uncirculated versions of these coins typically only fetch a few dollars above face value.
- Rarity: The fewer coins minted, especially those with rare errors or special features, the more valuable they become.
- Condition: Coins in better condition, particularly those that are uncirculated or have specific error designations, are more desirable to collectors.
- Errors: Minting errors, such as double strikes, off-center strikes, or mismatched dies (“mules”), can significantly increase a coin’s value.
Therefore, if you have a 2000 Sacagawea dollar coin, carefully inspect it for any unusual features or errors to determine if it might be more valuable than its face value. You might consult a coin appraiser for a more precise valuation.
