2000-D Sacagawea One Dollar coin

The Sacagawea dollar was introduced in 2000 to replace the Susan B. Anthony dollar. The coin honors Sacagawea, the Shoshone woman who assisted the Lewis and Clark expedition in the early 1800s. The obverse features Sacagawea carrying her infant son Jean Baptiste, designed by sculptor Glenna Goodacre, while the reverse depicts a soaring eagle designed by Thomas D. Rogers Sr. The Sacagawea dollar appeals to coin collectors, American history enthusiasts, and numismatists who appreciate modern commemorative coinage. While most circulation strikes hold modest premiums, certain varieties and error coins from the 2000 series have attracted significant collector interest. The coin represents an important chapter in American numismatic history and continues to be valued for its artistic design and cultural significance honoring Native American heritage.
