How to tell if a Sacagawea coin is worth a lot?
To identify if you have one of these coveted Cheerios dollars, examine the reverse side of the coin, specifically the eagle’s tail. Regular Sacagawea dollars feature a tail that lacks detail, making them worth only $1. However, the Cheerios dollars showcase intricate feather lines, significantly increasing their value.
