2003 Sacagawea Dollar

2003-P Sacagawea Dollar

As established in the prior year, the huge supply of Sacagawea Dollars and the lack of success in circulation, led the US Mint to produce the 2003 Sacagawea Dollar only for coin collectors. This included sales to the public in bags, rolls, and the annual US Mint coin sets.

On February 3, 2003, the United States Mint began selling the bags and rolls of 2003 Sacagawea Dollars to the public. They offered 2,000-coin bags from either the Philadelphia or Denver Mint for $2,190.00 each, and 25-coin rolls from either mint for $35.50 each. Collectors continued to purchase these Sacagawea Dollars in steady quantities, although sales experienced a decline from the prior year. The coins which are still contained in the original US Mint bags, rolls, or shipping boxes usually carry a premium above single or repackaged coins.

The US Mint also once again included the Sacagawea Dollar in their traditional annual coin sets. The 2003 Proof Set and 2003 Silver Proof Set contained the 2003-S Proof Sacagawea Dollar, and the 2003 Mint Set contained the 2003-P and 2003-D Sacagawea Dollars.
