Here's what I learned recently from Dabigkahuna about Sac's:

The Goodacre Sac, named after Glena Goodacre the Obverse sculptor for the coin, has a great story. When she was awarded the $5000 for winning the design contest, the Mint gave her an option to be paid in 2000-P Sacagawea Dollars and she took them up on the offer. These 5000 coins were all specially treated and used highly polished planchets. All 5000 were originally certified by ICG, The Independent Coin Grading Co. Glena released 2500 of the coins into the market and held back 2500. They seem to trade around $500.

The Millennium Sac is are the 2000-D coin that was included in the 2000 Millennium Coin and Currency Sets. Turns out they were also made from specially prepared planchets similar to the Goodacre coins. These trade around $150 and up depending on the grade.

There is also a variety called the "Wounded Eagle" Sac.
On some 2000-P Sac's, there is what looks to be an arrow going thru the chest of the eagle. This comes from an error during die polishing, I'm told.

And Semper Fi had some Sac's with the filled in eye.

That's all I know about Sac's except that thanks to Dabigkahuna I have (2) sets of the D & P mints from 2000 - 2004.

Can you explain the wide rim on the 1979p please. I have three and one rim does look wider than the others. Here are the pics.

Those are all narrow rim coins. The odd thing about the "wide rim" variety is that it can't be determined by looking at the width of the rim. The rim was widened and the date is closer to the rim, but slight misalignments of the die can result in "wide" rim coins with rims that are narrowr than some narrow rim coins.
