Coin / United States of America / / Sacagawea Dollars / 2003 / San Francisco

The coin being described is a 2003 Sacagawea Dollar that was minted in San Francisco. Designed by Glenna Goodacre and Thomas D. Rogers Sr., this particular coin is notable because it is a Proof version, characterized by its mirror-like finish and detailed relief, which makes it desirable for collectors. The Sacagawea Dollar features the image of Sacagawea, a Shoshone woman who assisted Lewis and Clark on their expedition, symbolizing the contribution of Native Americans to the founding of the United States. The coin has a diameter of 26.5 mm and weighs 8.1 grams. Unlike regular circulation coins, the edge of this Proof coin is plain, lacking the reeded edge seen on many other denominations. The coin is made from a unique material composition, consisting of 88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese, and 2% nickel, which gives it both durability and a distinctive appearance. With a mintage of 3,298,439, it is relatively common, yet its proof strike makes it a prized item for numismatists. The coin showcases the artistry of American coin design while celebrating a significant historical figure, making it a wonderful addition to any collection focused on United States currency.
