Values
A 2000–2008 Sacagawea dollar’s market depends on the date, the mint mark, named varieties, and the grade. This page is a series reference, not a price list.
The G, VF, and MS-63 columns sit in the mintage chart below. Those figures are from the NGC US Coin Price Guide, retrieved 2026-08-23. They are a published guide, not an offer and not melt. A blank cell means that grade was not printed in this pass. Native American dollars 2009+ are not this page. NGC lists both in one subcategory.
A dealer looking at the coin in hand will beat a guide number. If you are trying to sell a pile of them, start with how to sell a coin collection and the Ohio coin dealer directory.
Key Dates
PCGS CoinFacts and NGC named no traditional key-date list for this series in this pass. This page will not invent one.
There is no key-date bolding on the mintage chart for that reason. A worn common date is still worn.
Errors
These are named varieties. This page will not invent a count.
Cheerios and Wounded Eagle. Named 2000-P varieties. NGC printed a Cheerios mintage in this pass; this chart keeps circulating date/mint rows and does not add promotion rows. Wounded Eagle is name-only here.
Native American 2009+. A different series with edge lettering and changing reverses. NGC lists it in the same subcategory. It is not this page.
Compare the coin in hand to the NGC Coin Explorer Sacagawea page. We do not host their plates.
Varieties
This page is the eagle reverse, 2000 through 2008. The edge is plain. Named 2000-P varieties are the ones this page already keeps off the promotion rows. Native American reverses begin in 2009.
- 2000-P CheeriosThe promotion dollar with a sharper eagle tail. NGC printed a Cheerios figure in this pass. This chart keeps circulating date and mint rows and does not add a promotion row.
- 2000-P Wounded EagleA die gouge through the eagle. This page already leaves it name-only. It is not a second reverse design.
Names follow PCGS CoinFacts and NGC, the same publishers this site already cites. This is a name list, not a price list and not a count.

Read the date. Read the mint mark. Look at the eagle before you argue a 2009 theme reverse.
Specifications
These are mint specs, not what a dealer pays. Wear can take a little weight off. We will not invent a tolerance.
A 2000–2008 Sacagawea dollar is manganese-brass clad with a plain edge. Native American dollars keep the portrait and change the reverse and the edge. Those are not this page.
| Specification | Figure |
|---|---|
| Diameter | 26.5 mm |
| Thickness | 2 mm |
| Weight | 8.1 g |
| Composition | manganese-brass clad copper |
| Edge | Plain |
| Designer | Glenna Goodacre obverse; Thomas D. Rogers reverse |
Thickness 2 mm, weight 8.1 g, diameter 26.5 mm, manganese-brass clad, and a plain edge are the Numista 2000–2008 type page figures (N#923). Native American dollars 2009+ are a different series.
Grading
A 2000–2008 Sacagawea dollar wears first on Sacagawea’s cheek and on the eagle. Cheerios and Wounded Eagle are named varieties, not grades.
This page is the eagle reverse only. Native American dollars 2009+ keep the same portrait and change the reverse. Those live on their own page. NGC lists both in one subcategory.
Key Diagnostic Areas
| Area | What to examine | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Sacagawea’s cheek | The cheekbone and the hair by the infant. | Those high points flatten while the fields can still look busy. |
| Eagle in flight | The eagle and the lettering on the reverse. | The eagle goes slick first. That eagle reverse is this series. |
| Plain edge | The edge should be plain on this type. | Edge lettering belongs to later small-dollar programs, not this page. |
| Date and mint mark | The date and mint mark on the obverse. | A worn date is a worn dollar. 2009+ theme reverses are not this page. |

What each named grade looks like on this design.
Poor

A disk you can still call the Sacagawea dollar if you already know it.
- The high points are gone.
- The date may be a shadow.
- Do not invent a variety at this wear.
AG
About Good
You might read a digit. The high points are already slick.
- The design is an outline.
- If you cannot read the date without hoping, stay here.
- Look at the type before you name a variety.
Good
Good
The date is readable. The design is still mostly an outline.
- The high points are flat.
- Leftover field detail does not save it.
- This is a worn coin, not a details story.
VG
Very Good
The date is clear. A little life returns away from the high points.
- Some leftover detail comes back.
- The high points are still tired.
- Do not clean the date to see it better.
Fine
Fine
You can follow the design. The high points are outlined, not sharp.
- The type is readable.
- The high points are not crisp.
- The date should be clear.
VF
Very Fine
The design is doing real work. The high points still decide.
- Leftover detail sits away from the cheek and eagle.
- The center of the cheek and eagle is still the worn spot.
- A pretty tone does not hide a slick high point.
EF
Extremely Fine
Most of the coin looks sharp. The high points tell on it.
- Light wear on the same high points.
- The rest of the coin can look better than the grade.
- Trust the cheek and eagle.
AU
About Uncirculated
Almost no wear — and almost lives on the same spots.
- A trace of rub on the cheek and eagle.
- Luster may still sit in the fields.
- A bright slick high point is still rub.
Basal MS
Mint State
No wear. The fight is marks and luster.
- No rub on the cheek and eagle.
- Marks and luster decide how this mint-state coin lives.
- A bright chewed coin is still chewed.
Choice
Choice Mint State
Still no wear. Cleaner fields than basal mint state.
- Same no-wear rule on the cheek and eagle.
- Fewer marks in the fields.
- A slab is an opinion in plastic.
Gem
Gem Mint State
Clean high points and fields. Still mint state, still not a story.
- No wear on the cheek and eagle.
- Marks and luster, not a romance copied onto MS-63.
- The glossary has the numbers.
Proof Sacagawea dollars exist. This page does not invent a PR price grid — NGC did not print one in the 2026-08-23 sheet used here. The proof numbers live on the glossary.
Copper color designations (BN, RB, RD) do not apply here. Those belong on copper coins such as the Indian Head cent. See the Lincoln Wheat cent and the glossary.
Overview
A Sacagawea dollar on this page is a United States dollar coin with Sacagawea and her son on the front and an eagle in flight on the back. Collectors mean 2000 through 2008. People also call it the golden dollar. That nickname also gets used for later small dollars. This page is the eagle reverse only.
People like them because the type is easy to spot in a jar. They are also easy to ruin. A wiped dollar looks “better” to a seller and worse to everyone else.
This page is a series article, not a shop listing.
History
The Mint introduced the Sacagawea dollar in 2000. The eagle reverse runs through 2008. In 2009 the reverse becomes the Native American series. NGC still files both under one Sacagawea subcategory. This site will not.
This page will not invent a shop list to fill the years between.
Design
Obverse: Sacagawea facing right with Jean Baptiste, LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and the date. Reverse: an eagle in flight, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and ONE DOLLAR. The edge is plain. The mint mark sits on the obverse.
Look at the cheek, the eagle, and the edge. A lettered edge is a later series.
People Also Ask
What years are Sacagawea dollars on this page?
This page is the eagle reverse, 2000 through 2008. Native American dollars begin in 2009 and have their own page.
How much is a Sacagawea dollar worth?
It depends on the date, the mint mark, named varieties, and the grade. The G, VF, and MS-63 columns in the mintage chart are NGC guide values from 2026-08-23, not an offer. A dealer looking at the actual coin will beat a guide number.
Is the Native American dollar the same series?
No. NGC lists 2000 to date in one subcategory. This site splits the eagle reverse from the 2009+ Native American reverses.
Why are some P and D years missing?
The missing 2000–2008 Philadelphia and Denver business strikes are the Wikipedia figures. 2007-P and 2008-P stay the NGC rows already labeled Sacagawea. Proofs stay off. This page will not invent a count.
Does this coin have edge lettering?
No. The 2000–2008 eagle reverse has a plain edge. Edge lettering belongs to later small-dollar programs.
Collector Considerations
Buy the coin, not the story.
If you inherited a box, do not scrub the date to “see it better.” Keep them in the holders they arrived in, or in cheap cardboard flips, and take the box to a person who sees this series every week. The coin dealer directory starts in Ohio. This site does not invent shop names to fill a paragraph.
Raw coins are fine. So are slabs. What is not fine is a coin that has been cleaned until the fields look like glass, then offered as “original.”
If you collect by type, one honest circulated 2000-P will teach you the cheek and the eagle. For 2009 and later, read the Native American dollar.
A Final Word
These coins reward people who slow down. Read the date. Read the mint mark. Leave the polish under the sink.
When you want the later reverses, the Native American dollar is already here.
