Hey! Does anyone know the best way to spot a 2000 P Presentation Sacagawea coin? I have a few and I’ve looked all over the internet and haven’t found anything that completely answered my question. I’m pretty new to coin collecting, and a few tips would be helpful. Thanks for the help!
1) Have a nearly infinite capacity to enjoy failure. 2) Everything else everybody else will write below.
Yeah, I made a reply in your 9 minute earlier post ==> https://www.cointalk.com/threads/2000-p-sacagawea-goodacre.322254/ but in short, they are very easy to identify. They are all slabbed. So just search for the proper text and you can find a slabbed one. Expect to spend $380+ for them. => http://sacagaweadollarguide.com/2000-goodacre-presentation-sacagawea-dollar/
Weird that ICG and NGC both called these SP68, but PCGS is again being dumb and called it MS68. These are clearly a specimen strike, very different from a normal business strike.
Here's a web page that shows the difference. Opps, the cherios and goodacre aren't the same, are they?. http://www.smalldollars.com/dollar/page20c.html
Nope, they aren't. I got a cheerio cent in a box once, but i never was lucky enough for the dollar. But damn, you can bet I ate a hell of a lot of cheerios when i heard about that dollar.
You know when you were a kid and your parents used to say that you were growing like a weed .... this was the countermeasure to prevent that.
I beat the system, then. I'm 6'2" and 210 lbs. WITHOUT being built like a smallish outside linebacker or a strong safety. Life's cruelty.
What a great story. Design a coin for $5,000. Take payment in said coins. Slab them and sell 3,000 of them for $200. Five grand becomes over sixty grand - nice! (Undoubtedly old news to most of you but I learned something new today)
