2000-P Sacagawea Dollar Value
The launch-year golden dollar was minted in enormous numbers — over 767 million from Philadelphia — and it contains no gold, so a 2000-P from change is worth one dollar, maybe a little more in an uncirculated roll.
The reason this page exists: about 5,500 “Cheerios” dollars — early strikes inserted into cereal boxes — carry enhanced eagle tail-feather detail and sell for thousands. Separately, the 5,000 Goodacre presentation strikes (paid to the designer, special finish) also command four figures. Both are attribution jobs for a grading service, not eyeball calls.

Bands are conservative US retail ranges for problem-free coins; dealers buy below retail. Where a melt floor applies it overrides any lower band figure.
Checking tail feathers
The Cheerios reverse shows strong central shafts and detail in the eagle's tail feathers, unlike the smoother regular dies. Comparison photos from grading services are the only reliable reference — if yours looks close, that's a submission, not a sale.
