Key Facts & Value
Key Fact
Description
This lot features Sacagawea Native American dollars, minted in the United States. These dollar coins showcase Sacagawea with her infant son on the obverse, designed by Glenna Goodacre, and a bald eagle in flight on the reverse, designed by Thomas D. Rogers. The coins are made of a copper core clad with manganese brass, giving them their distinctive golden color. They have a reeded edge and a standard diameter of 26.5 mm.
History
The Sacagawea dollar coin was introduced in 2000 to honor the Shoshone woman Sacagawea and her vital role in the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Unlike earlier dollar coins, this series features a new portrait of Sacagawea on the obverse and a different Native American-themed reverse design each year until 2008, with a return to the eagle design in subsequent years. It was intended to be a circulating dollar coin, replacing the Susan B. Anthony dollar.
Facts
The Sacagawea dollar was the first U.S. dollar coin to feature a Native American woman on its obverse and the first to be issued for general circulation since the Susan B. Anthony dollar. The distinctive golden color led to its nickname 'golden dollar'. While intended for circulation, it saw limited use in commerce and many were purchased by collectors, with significant numbers being sold at face value by the U.S. Mint.
Value Fact
The value of Sacagawea dollars generally hovers around face value for common dates in circulated condition. Uncirculated examples or those from early mintages in high grades can command a slight premium. Sets or specific date/mint mark combinations might be of interest to collectors, but overall, they remain an affordable entry point into U.S. dollar coin collecting, with most market value derived from bulk sales or uncirculated mint sets.
