2000-P Glenna Goodacre Presentation Sacagawea Dollar

This item is a 2000-P Sacagawea golden dollar coin, specifically identified as a 'Goodacre Presentation' strike based on its distinct burnished, matte-like finish and original Mint-sealed clear plastic packaging. The obverse, designed by Glenna Goodacre, features the profile of Sacagawea carrying her infant son, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau. The coin is composed of a copper core clad with manganese brass, giving it a bright golden appearance. Notable features include the 'P' mint mark for Philadelphia and the date 2000. These specific coins were presented to the designer as payment and possess a higher quality of strike than standard circulation issues, characterized by smoother fields and greater detail. The specimen shown remains in its original, sealed blister pack with black printed text on the plastic, which is essential for certain diagnostic attributions. The condition appears to be Uncirculated ('Mint State'), showing no wear on high points like the cheekbone or infant's head, though the plastic packaging shows some minor wrinkling and reflective glare. These specimens are highly sought after by numismatists due to their limited production of only 5,000 units.
