Excellent Article on the Sacagawea Dollar.

It's even comprehensive.

It doesn't list them in ultra high grade but these probably aren't to expensive because most mint set coins are Gem.

    Article doesn't mention the wounded eagle variety.

    “The U.S. Mint recently made an unusual move when it auctioned five examples of the 2000-W Sacagawea Dollar struck in gold. Collectors had never before had access to these numismatic “delicacies.” The five coins sold for prices ranging from $350,000 to $500,000 each.”

    The very first paragraph of this article had me confused already? Was Jeff confusing the 7 gold Sacs recently sold by the Mint (that sold for $360,000 - $550,000 each) with a discussion here about 5 gold sales? I didn’t follow this. I assume it was a honest mistake that can (and should) easily be edited in his article?

    The Mint kept 5 pieces and sold 7. I guess he got the two numbers mixed up.

    And for accuracy, the actual sales prices were $360,001 - $550,001 as I believe the coins were made legal tender with that extra $1.

    And speaking of the mega-rare gold Space Sacs, the $360,001 coin just resold at Stacks today at $390,400 (over $30,000 higher than its last auction appearance).
