How would you grade this Sac?

There are no right answers (it's raw) but I figured I'd get some opinions since there aren't really any grading guides out there for circulated small dollars. I know it's only worth a dollar but I'm still curious anyways. Thanks!

I'd grade it awesome, but a numerical grade as a WAG I would say VF35.

Fine.

I'd spend it on groceries and call it almost uncirculated.

...i'd give it a not bad 10

I am currently looking through hundreds of Sacs, and I have found SEVERAL 2000-D Sacs in very low condition, many of them even in lower grades than this one.

I would put it at 30....Cheers, RickO

Spendable.

As the old dealers used to say: "I would grade it one dollar."

Looks like a piece that circulated in South America.

and all this time I never received one in change.

vf20-25

Too much detail still remaining for the VF grades it is XF at the worst. Still not really worth any more than face as there are millions still waiting to be used.

F15/VF20

Definitely not higher, most of the eagle's breast feather details are gone and there is significant wear on Sacajawea face, the coin has very low relief so it's amazing it has this much wear on its devices already. No luster to be seen. Possibly lower than the grade I guessed.

I myself have seen some Sacs this heaviy circulated as well and they've all been 2000-D's. My guess is that they went to Ecuador, circulated for a while, then got brought back here.

It's got character. Yet subsequent years are limited , so few will see circulation because they cost more than face value. (sort of like the Kennedy Half, where we have a limited number of collectors)
Specimens dated 2000 and 2001 should be easy to find and I agree with lindedad on the grade.

How would you grade this Sac?
