To determine the value of your 2000-P Sacagawea dollar:
- Examine the coin’s condition: Is it circulated or uncirculated? Look for any signs of wear and tear, scratches, or blemishes.
- Inspect the reverse (tail) side:
– Look for the “wounded eagle” defect, which is a raised line through the eagle’s breast.
– If you suspect it might be a “Cheerios” dollar, carefully examine the eagle’s tail feathers. The Cheerios version has additional ridges and details compared to a regular Sacagawea dollar.
- Check for other errors: Examine the coin for off-center strikes, planchet errors, or other unique features that could indicate a minting mistake.
