The value of a Sacagawea one-dollar coin can vary greatly depending on several factors, primarily year of mintage, condition, and the presence of any rare errors.
- The vast majority of Sacagawea dollar coins in circulation are worth only their face value of $1.
- Even in uncirculated conditions, these coins are common and typically only command a small premium above face value.
- For example, a standard 2000-P Sacagawea dollar in circulated condition is valued at approximately $1.05 to $1.35, while in uncirculated condition, it could be worth around $55.
- Certain rare error variations of the Sacagawea dollar can be worth thousands of dollars or more, due to errors like:
– “Muled” Errors: The most valuable Sacagawea error coin features the Sacagawea obverse (heads) but an accidental quarter obverse (heads) on the reverse side. Only 18 of these are known to exist. One such error coin with the quarter reverse was privately sold for $2.1 million in 2024.
– Cheerios Sacagawea Dollars: Coins distributed in Cheerios cereal boxes in 2000 with a more detailed eagle tail feather design are also rare and valuable. These can be worth $5,000 to $25,000 or more, depending on condition. There are approximately 60 to 70 of these coins known to exist.
– Mules with state quarters or other dollars: Some rare error coins exist that were accidentally struck using different reverse dies, such as a state quarter design or a Presidential Dollar design.
- Some proofs minted in 2025, specifically the 25th Anniversary Sacagawea Golden Dollar, are valued at approximately $2,700-$2,900.
