Description
This is a 2000 Sacagawea Dollar coin from the Philadelphia Mint, struck in brass. The obverse features a portrait of Sacagawea with her infant son, designed by Glenna Goodacre. The reverse depicts an eagle in flight, a design by Thomas D. Rogers. This dollar coin has a diameter of 26.5 mm and a thickness of 2.0 mm, weighing 8.1 grams with a lettered edge.
History
The Sacagawea Dollar was introduced in 2000 as part of the U.S. Mint's Native American Dollar Coin Program. Sacagawea, a Lemhi Shoshone woman, played a crucial role in the Lewis and Clark Expedition, aiding in its success. Her image on the coin honors her significant contributions to American history and exploration.
Facts
The Sacagawea Dollar is the first U.S. dollar coin to feature a Native American woman on its obverse. Unlike previous dollar coins, it was minted with a distinctive golden color due to its manganese brass composition. The program aims to honor the contributions of Native Americans to the United States.
Value Fact
While the face value is one dollar, the 2000 Sacagawea Dollar, especially from the Philadelphia Mint, typically trades slightly above face value for circulated examples. Uncirculated or proof versions command higher prices, with demand driven by collectors interested in early mintages and the coin's historical significance.
