2000-P Sacagawea Golden Dollar

This is a United States Sacagawea dollar coin minted in the year 2000 at the Philadelphia Mint, as indicated by the 'P' mint mark. The coin measures 26.5mm in diameter and is composed of a pure copper core with an outer layer of manganese brass, giving it its distinctive golden hue. The obverse features a profile of Sacagawea carrying her infant son, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, designed by Glenna Goodacre. The coin is currently housed in its original United States Mint heat-sealed cellophane packaging, which is a key indicator of its provenance, likely originating from a 2000 United States Mint Uncirculated Coin Set or a specific promotional distribution. The coin exhibits a bright, lustrous finish consistent with an uncirculated strike. No significant contact marks, scratches, or environmental spotting are visible through the plastic, suggesting a high state of preservation. The strike appears sharp across the hair details of Sacagawea and the features of the infant. The rim is well-defined and even. This specific coin gained fame for being the first year of the series. The presence of the original mint packaging protects the surfaces from human oils and environmental oxidation, maintaining its original 'mint state' luster.
