Design and Specifications of the 2001 Dollar
The 2001 Sacagawea Dollar was the second year of issue for this modern dollar coin series. Introduced in 2000, the Sacagawea Dollar was designed to replace the Susan B. Anthony Dollar, which had been unpopular due to its similarity to the quarter. The coin honors Sacagawea, the young Shoshone woman who assisted the Lewis and Clark expedition in the early 19th century.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 2001 Sacagawea Dollars. While common in circulated grades, uncirculated examples in high grades (MS66 and above) can command significant premiums. The golden color of these coins can be susceptible to spotting or discoloration, making pristine examples particularly desirable.
For proof coins, cameo and deep cameo contrasts between the frosted design elements and mirrored fields can significantly enhance value, especially in the highest grades (PR69 and PR70).

Strike quality is an important factor for Sacagawea Dollars. Coins with full, sharp details, especially on Sacagawea’s hair and the eagle’s feathers, are more desirable. Luster also plays a significant role, with coins displaying full, cartwheel luster being more valuable.
While not typically known for attractive toning, Sacagawea Dollars with unique or appealing toning patterns can command premiums among specialized collectors. Additionally, error coins, such as those with die cracks, off-center strikes, or wrong planchets, while rare, can be valuable to error coin collectors.
