2000 Sacagawea Golden Dollar Coin
This is a United States one-dollar coin featuring the likeness of Sacagawea on the obverse. The coin is composed of a manganese-brass alloy over a pure copper core, resulting in its distinctive golden color. On the obverse, the portrait by artist Glenna Goodacre depicts Sacagawea with her infant son, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, strapped to her back. Notable markings include the word 'LIBERTY' along the top left rim, 'IN GOD WE TRUST' at the bottom left, and the mintage year '2000' on the right. The coin's diameter is 26.5 mm and it features a smooth edge without reeding. Regarding its condition, the coin displays significant circulated wear; the original luster is completely gone, replaced by a dark, mottled brown patina and heavy surface oxidation. Fine details in the hair and facial features appear softened from friction. There are visible surface scratches and some minor rim dings consistent with general circulation. This specific coin appears to be from the inaugural year of the series, which replaced the Susan B. Anthony dollar. The craftsmanship is standard for modern US mint production, though this specific specimen is in heavily worn, circulated grade.
