2000 “Goodacre Presentation” Sacagawea Dollar

One of the special issues of the series is known as the 2000 "Goodacre Presentation" Sacagawea Dollar. The designer of the coin Glenna Goodacre had requested that the US Mint pay her the $5,000 design fee entirely in new Sacagawea Dollars. The Mint complied with her request and produced the coins with a special finish. All of the coins she received were specially burnished and treated with an antioxidant. The coins are clearly different in appearance than untreated coins.

The designer had all of the 5,000 coins she received encapsulated by Independent Coin Grading (ICG) with the designation "Goodacre Presentation". A number of the coins were offered to collectors at the ANA 2000 World's Fair of Money held in Philadelphia. A total of 3,000 coins were sold for $200 each.

Some of the coins were later crossed over to PCGS or NGC where they carried the same "Goodacre Presentation" designation, but also featured a numerical grade. Some of the top graded examples have sold for as much as $1,000 each.
