The value of a 2000-P Sacagawea dollar coin can range significantly depending on its condition and whether it’s a special variety or error coin.
Here’s a breakdown:
- Standard Circulation Strike: Most 2000-P Sacagawea dollars in circulated condition are only worth their face value ($1).
- Higher Grades (Uncirculated): Uncirculated examples (Mint State) can sell for a few dollars more, depending on their grade.
- Special Varieties & Errors: Some specific varieties and error coins can fetch much higher prices:
– Cheerios Dollar: These rare coins have enhanced detail in the eagle’s tail feathers and were part of a promotion with Cheerios cereal boxes. They can be worth several thousand dollars. Some have sold for as much as $5,000 to $25,000+.
– Wounded Eagle: This error coin has a die gouge through the eagle’s body that resembles a spear wound. These coins can range in value from hundreds to thousands of dollars depending on the specific error and grade.
– Mule Errors: These extremely rare error coins are struck with two different designs that were not intended to be paired together, such as a Sacagawea obverse (heads) and a Statehood Quarter reverse (tails). One such error sold at auction for $144,000 in 2022.
– Struck on Different Planchets: A 2000-P Sacagawea dollar struck on a Susan B. Anthony dollar planchet, for example, sold for $16,800 at auction in 2022.
Important Notes:
- Certification: If you believe you have a valuable 2000-P Sacagawea dollar, it’s highly recommended to have it certified and graded by a professional coin grading service (like PCGS or NGC).
- Research: Thoroughly research any potential error or variety to ensure its authenticity and understand its potential value.
- Seek Expert Opinion: If you’re unsure about the value of your coin, it’s best to consult with a reputable coin dealer or numismatic expert.
How do I know if I have a 2000-P cheerios Sacagawea dollar coin?
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.
How rare is a 2000-P Sacagawea dollar wounded eagle?
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.
