The “E Pluribus Unum” phrase appears on most US coins, including the 2000 Sacagawea dollar.
Most 2000 Sacagawea dollars are only worth their face value of $1. This is because a very large quantity of them was minted that year (over 1.2 billion).
However, some 2000 Sacagawea dollars can be quite valuable due to specific errors or features:
- Cheerios Dollar: These have a more detailed tail feather design and were part of a promotion. Only 60 to 70 are known, and their value can range from $5,000 to $25,000 or more.
- Wounded Eagle: These coins have a die gouge creating a raised line on the eagle’s breast. Some graded as Mint State 68 have sold for over $5,100.
- Off-Center Strikes: When the coin planchet is misaligned during striking, resulting in an off-center design, [these error coins can be worth $100 to $1,000+ according to Coin ID Scanner].
- Planchet Errors: Some Sacagawea dollars were mistakenly struck on planchets intended for other coins, leading to unusual compositions, weights, or sizes.
- Die Cracks and Cuds: These are cracks or chunks on the coin’s surface due to damaged dies.
- Glenna Goodacre Presentation Pieces: These are special versions associated with the coin’s designer. An NGC graded specimen sold for $499.
- Mule Errors: These are very rare coins struck with a different coin’s design on one side. One variety has the Washington quarter’s obverse paired with the Sacagawea dollar’s reverse, [with one selling for $144,000 according to Invaluable.com].
In general, it’s best to have any potentially valuable Sacagawea dollar professionally appraised to determine its true value.
