Sacagawea and Native American dollars: reverse and edge together

The portrait continues while annual reverse subjects and edge inscriptions change.

The original eagle and the annual subjects

The golden-colored dollar begins in 2000 with Sacagawea and an eagle reverse. The Native American program introduces changing reverse themes. Identify the actual subject, date, mint, and finish; the color does not mean the ordinary dollar is made of gold.

The edge completes some identities

Where the date or mintmark is on the edge, photograph the full circumference in a sequence that can be checked. A face photograph cannot establish their absence. For a proposed Cheerios reverse, use the actual tail-feather diagnostics; cereal-box association or packaging alone cannot attribute the coin.

Describe surfaces and contents

Inspect portrait, reverse high points, fields, rims, and edge for wear and damage. Confirmed reverse varieties, proof products, and ordinary pieces have different markets. Compare the same subject and finish, and specify whether packaging or other coins are included in the offer.

Selected reviewed issue records

These catalog standards describe the named issue, not a measured specimen. The selected records below do not cover every date, mint, strike, or die variety. Reported production is labeled separately from established mintage. Unknown standards and mintage remain visible; survival estimates and certified populations are separate research questions.

No issue-level specification or mintage records are published for this category yet. Verify the exact date, mint, strike, metal, and subtype in its reference before using a numerical standard.

References and review

Reference reviewed October 5, 2026. Historical facts and catalog standards need to match the exact issue; price comparisons should be researched at the time of valuation.
