The value of a 2000-P Sacagawea dollar coin varies depending on its condition and any unique characteristics or errors it may have.
Here’s a breakdown of the typical value ranges:
- Standard Circulation Strikes: Most 2000-P Sacagawea dollars found in circulation are worth around their face value, $1. However, in higher grades (like uncirculated or near-perfect condition), they can sell for a few dollars, ranging from $1 to $30, depending on the grade.
- Cheerios Dollars: These are a special variety of 2000-P Sacagawea dollars distributed in Cheerios cereal boxes as part of a promotion. They are distinguished by their more detailed eagle tail feathers on the reverse. Only about 60-70 are known to exist, making them highly sought after by collectors. Their value can range from $5,000 to $25,000 or more.
- Goodacre Presentation Coins: 5,000 specially prepared 2000-D (Denver Mint) Sacagawea dollars with a satin finish were presented to the coin’s designer, Glenna Goodacre. These coins can be quite valuable, with some selling for $400-$3,000+.
- Error Coins: Sacagawea dollars with minting errors are highly collectible and can fetch significant sums. Examples include:
– Wounded Eagle: These 2000-P coins have a raised line over the eagle’s breast, caused by a die flaw. They can range in value from $250-$5,000+, depending on the grade.
– Off-Center Strikes: These coins have a misaligned design due to improper striking, [according to Coin ID Scanner] . Value depends on the degree of the off-center strike, generally ranging from $100-$1,000+.
– Planchet Errors: These occur when the coin is struck on a wrong or incorrect planchet (the blank metal disk used to create a coin). For example, a 2000-P Sacagawea dollar struck on a Susan B. Anthony dollar planchet sold for $16,800 in 2022.
– Mule Errors: These are coins with mismatched designs, like a Sacagawea obverse and a Washington quarter reverse. Only 18 of these are known to exist, and one sold for $144,000 in 2022. Another rare mule error featuring the Sacagawea dollar and a South Carolina quarter is the only one of its kind known and sold for $66,000 in 2022.
In Summary
Most 2000-P Sacagawea dollars are worth their face value, but certain errors or special editions can be highly valuable. To determine if your coin is worth more than a dollar, carefully examine it for any distinguishing characteristics or errors, and consider having it professionally graded.
How do I know if I have a 2000-P cheerios Sacagawea dollar coin?
Great question! One significant variety is the 2000-P Cheerios dollars, included in specially marked cereal boxes as a promotion. These early strikes show subtle die differences in the tail feathers of the eagle, distinguishing them from regular issues.
What are the errors on a 2000-P Sacagawea coin?
Thanks for asking. The error coins are a quarter on the front of the coin and have the regular eagle design on the back. These errors are very rare. To recap though, with exception of the Cheerios dollar, Goodacre dollar, and the quarter misprint, all other 2000-P Sacagawea dollars are extremely common.
How rare is a 2000-P Sacagawea dollar wounded eagle?
Great question! The 2000-P “Wounded Eagle” Sacagawea Dollar is so-named because of a raised die flaw that cuts across the eagle’s belly (see the attribution image above). As of January 2012, this variety remains elusive, with PCGS showing a population of 115 examples in all grades.
