Design and Specifications of the 2004 Dollar
The 2004 Sacagawea Dollar continues the series that began in 2000, honoring the Native American woman who assisted the Lewis and Clark expedition. This coin represents a significant chapter in American numismatic history, as it was part of the U.S. Mint’s effort to introduce a widely circulating dollar coin.
Despite its limited circulation, the Sacagawea Dollar remains an important collector’s item and a tribute to Native American contributions to American history.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of 2004 Sacagawea Dollars significantly impacts their value, particularly for circulation strikes. Due to limited circulation, many coins remain in pristine condition.
For circulation strikes, coins in MS65 or higher grades command premium prices. Proof coins are expected to be in high grades, with cameo and deep cameo designations adding value.
Factors such as strong strike, full luster, and absence of contact marks are crucial for achieving top grades and maximum value.

Toning can play a role in the desirability of 2004 Sacagawea Dollars. Natural, attractive toning can enhance the coin’s appeal and value, particularly for proof issues.
While not typically subject to significant die varieties or errors, any major mint errors (such as off-center strikes or wrong planchet errors) would be highly valuable due to their rarity.
The overall low demand for dollar coins in circulation has led to many 2004 Sacagawea Dollars being preserved in excellent condition, which somewhat limits their premium in the collector market. However, complete sets and specially packaged mint products from 2004 may carry additional value for collectors.
