Sacagawea Dollar Coin

This item is a Sacagawea dollar coin, a golden-colored dollar coin issued by the United States Mint. The coin appears to be made of a manganese brass clad composition over a copper core, giving it its characteristic golden hue. The obverse side, visible in the image, features the depiction of Sacagawea, an indigenous Shoshone woman, carrying her infant son, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, on her back. This iconic design was created by sculptor Glenna Goodacre. The word "LIBERTY" is prominently displayed around the top rim of the coin, and the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" is inscribed to the left of Sacagawea's portrait. The coin's surface shows some signs of circulation wear, typical for a coin that has been handled, with slight dulling of the original luster and minor surface scratches or abrasions visible under close inspection. The relief of the portrait still retains good detail, suggesting it is not severely worn. There are no obvious deep gouges, major dents, or significant discoloration that would indicate severe damage or tampering. The rim appears intact and well-defined. The specific year of mintage is not visible in this image, as it is typically located on the reverse or edge of these coins, depending on the minting period. The visible craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced coinage from a national mint.
