2000 Sacagawea Questions

llafoe

This is another coin that has alluded me: 2000-P SAC Goodacre MS68/SP68. There are 445 of these graded at MS68/SP68. Even with 445, the price guide lists them at $1,000. Is a coin with a population of 445 really worth a $1,000? Even with a "mintage" of only 5,000, is it really worth $1,000? Are there 5,000 SAC variety collectors?

The other 2000 SAC that I've questioned several times in the past is the 2000-D SAC Millennium. PCGS requires it as part of the Registry mint set for 2000. I can't find the value or population on their website. If they require it as part of the 2000 mint set, why can't they support it in their price guide and population report? I know there are 78 MS68 and 1 MS69, but I didn't find it in their population report. They have the population for the Goodacre, Cheerios and Wounded Eagle, but not the Millennium. They have the price for the Goodacre and Cheerios in the price guide, but not the Millennium. Why the requirement for the Millennium SAC in the Registry set but the absence of the Millennium SAC in the population report/price guide?

When I had my registry sets of both the SAC and Susies the price guide was never an issue. Top coins in these sets were whatever the buyer was willing to pay and 99% of the time it was above the price guide anyway. At least thats how it worked out for me when I broke up my set.

My understanding is there are still several of the coins being held by the Goodacres. These are all in ICG holders I believe. Over time, these coins are being released to the market slowly. As this slowly happens, many will be converted to PCGS slabs. In this case, the PCGS price somewhat (maybe a bit high) reflects the PCGS population, but definately seems high for the population in general.

However, the mintage of 5000 has no reflection on the ms-68 price. There are not 5000 ms-68's available.

If you would like to see a population report for the Millennium Sacagawea go to the main population page on pcgs and on the upper right hand corner you will find a box.....Look up by PCGS #..........type in 99585....not sure why they don't have them posted on the pop. report?

IMO, the Goodacre Presentation coins are well worth the money, simply because of the provenance of the coins.

Would it be any different if they were $20 gold coins paid to Augustus Saint-Gaudens?

As for the Millenium coins and their population/prices, why don't you open a registry set. All the data you are looking for is right at your finger tips. It's a totally FREE service whose only requirement is that you own a PCGS slabbed coin in the series you are starting. In this case, a Sacagawea.
