There are a small # (5,000 out of 210 million IIRC) that were minted for a special promotion, in order to meet deadlines, they used a proof die to make uncirculated coins, packaged them specially and put them in cereal boxes - so they're called "Cheerios dollars"

Your coin is NOT one of them.

 

Hello & welcome to CoinTalk! Buy a Red Book to learn about mintages, metal composition, and some varieties/errors. Do not use the Red Book necessarily for prices. Bring your questions here and ask for opinions. But, this is very important - take good, focused, zoomed in, cropped, and properly rotated pictures of obverse and reverse of your coin. And, try and be as specific as you can as to what it is you are curious about on your particular coin. Do a little research first if you can by Googling the coin in question. Likely, Google will take you to some of the resources you will be referred to here on CT. Having said all that, welcome!

 

Hi Ron, The only Sac's that have any value presently are the 2000 P "Goodacre" coin and the 2000 D special presentation coin. I do not have any prices for any above MS65. The Goodacre is currently around $575.00 in MS65 and the 2000 D "Presentation" piece around $50.00 in MS65, both, give or take depending on whatever you could buy one for. The Goodacre were slabbed and autographed. Perhaps someone else has an insider's advantage to population reports from NGC and PCGS and could guide you further.

 

We all posted close to each other and yes, I forgot about the "Cheerios" dollar.

 

Ms Goodacre took her $5,000 payment for the design in coins. She had many of them slabbed by icg and over the years a number were sold. A large chunk of them ended up in a promoter's hands who had them reslabbed by PCGS. I think small dollars has an article on them too.

 

And keep in mind too. There are folks on some of these auction sites asking all manner of absurd prices for common coins. It’s an awful practice that gives a black eye to a good hobby.

 

all above info is good, All of the coins provided to Glenna Goodacre as payment had been specially burnished and treated with an antioxidant. The coins were clearly different in appearance than untreated coins issued for general circulation. The surfaces of the coin were highly reflective and proof like in appearance, and the cheerios dollar has highly detailed tail feathers, however there is a lot more native American dollars of value in presidential series and later years, reverse proofs, enhanced coins. some low mintage coins not distributed for general circulation.

"Goodacre Presentation”. were all presented to ICG for encapsulation by the owner, they were numbered .At the ANA 2000 World’s Fair of Money held in Philadelphia, a total of 3,000 of the coins were sold to collectors for $200 each, later collectors had some crossed over to PCGS or NGC holders where they carried the same “Goodacre Presentation” designation, but also featured a numerical grade.
There is also a millennium set Sacagawea


But for the most part the 2000 ands and years close were struck in the billions if added together and are worth 1 $ ea circulated. Like Randy said, some idiots/ people think someone is going to pay more for a common dollar and try to rip the unknowing consumer off.

 

Copied most of that but im working on the presidential series, and newer ones still. less expensive to buy the whole mint and proof sets most of the time.

 

That was my best cherry-pick ever, I bought one of the icg presentation pieces for 10 bucks from a dealer's unsorted box. Sold it on to a dealer friend for like 375 and he sold it on fleabay for 465.

 

Sweet, wish I could come across a deal like that lol.

 

I can tell you guys one thing, I thought putting a set of native American dollars was going to be cheap and easy, Not so much of either. ways to go.

 

More history behind the coin, and Lewis and Clark. Sacagawea's name means "Bird woman and or Boat puller"


Sacagawea, the daughter of a Shoshone chief, was born circa 1788 in Lemhi County, Idaho. At around age 12, she was captured by an enemy tribe and sold to a French-Canadian trapper who made her his wife. In November 1804, she was invited to join the Lewis and Clark expedition as a Shoshone interpreter

You can do it as simply and as inexpensively as you want... It's your set you make the rules if you only want to have the regularyears in dates then make it that way and it's relatively inexpensive. Sure, chasing all of the weird varieties is going to be much harder...

 

I would not tell anyone how to collect, not sure what your point is.

 

I have found nice specimens of all of the Sacagawea/Native American Dollars (P&D) except for 2006-D & 2008-P from CRH. I bought the 2018-P&D as BU from a dealer friend because he had them cheap. It is a lot of work, but the nice thing - I was able to nearly complete my Presidential P&D series in the process. All I lack is the Denver Nixon Dollar. I should buy another box of small dollars and try and complete them!

 

LOL never thought my coin was of value..
Just making the point being a novice .. I don't know the intricacies of how to tell the difference

 

its not, we just like talking about coins. lol Me.

 

I have 2000 d

 

When you go to a small store (7-11 /Racetrack) Ask them if they have any dollar coins. More often then not they are happy to sell them to you. I get a lot of SBA/ SAC's and Presidential that way. Also ask your bank teller, they usually have bunches of them they will be glad to sell you.
