Whether a 2000 Sacagawea dollar coin is worth more than its face value depends on a few key factors: condition, rarity, and presence of errors or special features.
- The vast majority of 2000 Sacagawea dollars are only worth their face value of $1, [according to the U.S. Gold Bureau].
- This is because the coin was minted in very large quantities (over 767 million at the Philadelphia mint alone), making them quite common.
- Slightly circulated coins may only be worth between $1.05 and $1.35 as of August 2025.
- Even rolls of these coins typically only sell for around $30.
However, there are a few exceptions that can make a 2000 Sacagawea dollar significantly more valuable:
- Error coins: Some of these coins were struck with rare errors, such as:
– “Cheerios” Dollars: These coins, distributed as part of a promotion, feature more detailed tail feathers on the eagle. Only about 60-70 of these are known to exist, with values ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 or more.
– 2000-P Sacagawea Dollar on Susan B. Anthony Planchet: This error coin features the Sacagawea design but with the coloring of a Susan B. Anthony dollar. One sold for $16,800 in 2022.
– 2000-P Sacagawea Dollar and Statehood Quarter Mule: This extremely rare coin has a George Washington quarter obverse and a Sacagawea dollar reverse. Only 18 are known to exist, and one sold for $144,000 in 2022.
– Wounded Eagle: This error features a raised line over the eagle’s breast, resembling a wound. Values can range from $250 to $5,000+ depending on the condition.
– Double Die and RPM (Repunched Mint Mark) errors: These types of errors involve doubled design elements or a mint mark that has been struck multiple times. A 2000 P Sacagawea Dollar with a Double Die and RPM error recently sold on eBay for $1200.
– Off-Center Strike Errors: These errors occur when the coin design is not centered on the planchet. The value depends on the extent of the error, with more dramatic examples selling for more.
– Planchet Errors: These happen when a Sacagawea dollar is struck on a planchet intended for another coin.
- Goodacre Presentation Coins: A limited mintage of special-strike coins designed by Glenna Goodacre, given to her as payment, are also valuable. These are usually already graded by a third party and easy to spot.
In essence, while most 2000 Sacagawea dollars aren’t worth much, certain varieties with errors or unique features can be highly valuable to collectors. If you believe you have one of these rare coins, it’s recommended to consult with a coin expert for proper identification and appraisal.
