About the 2000 sacagawea-dollar
The 2000 Sacagawea dollar is a regular circulation issue, struck in manganese brass clad copper (cladding: 77% copper, 12% zinc, 7% manganese, 4% nickel; core: 100% copper), weighing 8.1 g, 26.5 mm across, from a design by Glenna Goodacre. It was struck at Philadelphia, Denver — 1,286,056,000 coins in all.
Denver made the fewest at 518,916,000, against 767,140,000 from Philadelphia.
The spread on this date is almost entirely about condition. A worn example is $1.05; the same coin certified MS68 carries a guide value of $6,000, and PCGS has graded 7 that high. Everything between those two numbers is a question of how the coin was handled in its first weeks.
Population figures put that in perspective. Across the grades listed here PCGS has certified 12,961 examples of this date, and only 7 of them reached MS68. A coin that spent years in a till will not be among them; one pulled from a roll and never touched might be. That gap is the whole reason two coins with the same date sell for very different money.
There is also a record of what people actually paid. The highest recorded sale for this date is $10,925, at Heritage Auctions in January 2009. Auction results move around the guide values rather than matching them — the same coin can bring more on a day two determined bidders want it, and less when nobody does.
