The value of a Cheerios Sacagawea dollar coin varies greatly depending on its condition (grade) and whether it’s still in its original packaging.
Here’s a breakdown of the value:
- Circulated Condition: Loose, circulated 2000-P Sacagawea dollars are generally worth their face value ($1). However, according to the NGC Price Guide, as of August 2025, a Sacagawea Coin from 2000 in circulated condition is worth between $1.05 and $1.35.
- Graded Condition: Cheerios Sacagawea dollars, specifically the rare variety with enhanced eagle tail feathers, can be quite valuable when graded and certified by professional grading services like PCGS or NGC. Prices can range from $5,000 to $25,000 depending on the grade, [according to The Spruce Crafts].
- Record Sales: Some of these coins have sold for much higher prices. For example, a PCGS MS-68 specimen sold for $29,900 in 2008, [says The Spruce Crafts] . Other record sales include $34,500 for a 2000P 1999 reverse Cheerios dollar graded MS68 and $35,000 for a 2000 Lincoln cent struck on a Sacagawea dollar.
- Original Packaging: If you find a Cheerios Sacagawea dollar still sealed in its original packaging with the Certificate of Authenticity, it could be worth even more to collectors.
To determine if you have a valuable Cheerios Sacagawea dollar, look for the following:
- Year and Mint Mark: It must be a 2000 Philadelphia-minted coin with a “P” mint mark.
- Enhanced Tail Feathers: The most distinctive feature is the enhanced eagle tail feathers on the reverse side of the coin. These tail feathers have bold, detailed diagonal lines, compared to the standard Sacagawea dollar which has less defined tail feathers.
- Condition: The coin should be in good condition. A very worn-down or damaged coin will significantly decrease its value and may not be designated as a Cheerios dollar.
- It is crucial to have the coin authenticated and graded by a professional service to confirm it’s the rare Cheerios variety and to accurately assess its condition and value.
- Never attempt to clean the coin yourself, as this can severely damage it and reduce its value.
