Expert: - 6/17/2009


Question
Hi, I can't find any reference to this coin. There is no date stamped on the face of the coin.  Instead, "2000 P" is on the side of the coin. Can you please tell me what this is?  thank you.

Answer
Michael,

The only Sacagawea coins with the date on the edge would be this year's Native American dollar.  The date would be 2009.

Any other Sacagawea coin with an edge date has been altered after it left the mint.

Expertise

My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.

Experience

I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
