<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 488159, member: 1242&quot;]Jose,</p><p><br /></p><p>The odds are very high that you may have one of the highly sought after 2000-P &quot;Pattern&quot; Sacagawea Dollars! Since it is still sealed in the original packaging and it may retain more value if it stays in the original packaging, you cannot examine the Reverse to see if it has the detailed tail feathers on the Eagle. However, with a good Gem Loupe, you should be able to determine if it has the Obverse Die Markers for the rare Pattern Dollar. Go to the website at the link provided below** and see if the coin has the Obverse Die Markers on it. If so, then you have hit the jackpot and will need to get it certified and graded. You will need to take detailed pictures of the coin in it&#039;s original packaging...to include a close-up of the Obverse Die Markers to be used in case you have to file a claim with the Post Office if it is lost or stolen. Ship the coin to PCGS via Express/Registered or Priority/Registered Mail and place the highest amount of Insurance on it that is available, since the coin could be valued anywhere from $10,000 to $25,000 depending on the grade. Higher Insurance protection is available through some of the package delivery services such as FedEx and UPS but I am not sure that PCGS will accept shipments sent through any of these. If you plan to sell the coin, then you might want to arrange to have it shipped directly to one of the big Auction Houses such as Heritage or Bowers &amp; Merena and if it is certified and graded by PCGS on the Expedite (Rush) Service, then it might be able to go up for auction at the Florida Fun Show but it will be tight since the Fun Show is scheduled for January 8-11, 2009. Good luck!</p><p><br /></p><p>**</p><p><a href="http://www.smalldollars.com/dollar/page20c.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.smalldollars.com/dollar/page20c.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.smalldollars.com/dollar/page20c.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
