The Artistry Behind the Coin
Obverse: Glenna Goodacre's powerful portrait of Sacagawea carrying her infant son Jean Baptiste on her back captures the strength and determination of this remarkable woman. The wind seems to sweep through her hair as she gazes forward with quiet resolve, embodying the spirit of exploration and courage that defined the Corps of Discovery expedition.
Reverse: A soaring eagle in flight, designed by Thomas D. Rogers Sr., symbolizes peace and freedom. The eagle's outstretched wings frame seventeen stars representing the states in the Union when Lewis and Clark began their historic journey, creating a visual connection between Sacagawea's contribution and the nation's westward expansion.
Why Collectors Choose This Piece
The 2002 Sacagawea Dollar represents an important chapter in modern U.S. coinage. As part of the original Sacagawea series before the Native American $1 Coin Program began in 2009, these coins mark a transitional period in American numismatics. Collectors appreciate having both mint marks to complete their date and mint mark collections, while the protective holders ensure these coins maintain their brilliant uncirculated finish for generations. Whether you're building a complete Sacagawea set or honoring the legacy of this American hero, this P&D pair offers both historical significance and accessible collecting.
