Default Question About 2000 Sacagawea Dollar U.S. Mint Box

Hello. I'm new to this newsgroup and hope that the experienced
collectors here can help me solve a problem. Back in March of 2000, I
purchased some Sacagawea dollars directly from the U.S. Mint. They
were delivered in the typical Priority Mail carton with address label
and Product ID# . I never opened the box. I put it into a storage
closet and forgot about it for the past seven years..

I recently discovered the box and would like to sell the dollars. The
problem is that the box is still factory sealed and I am unsure of the
exact contents. The part # printed on the label of the box reads: "SA4
002". I know that the "SA4" indicates the U.S. Mint's ID# for the
Sacagawea dollars and the "002" indicates two of something. But I am
not a collector and my knowledge is very limited. The Mint no longer
provides any info about the 2000 Sacagawea dollar. What exactly is
inside? Were there "P" & "D" dollars that year? Does my box possibly
contain one roll each of Philadelphia and Denver dollars? The box
weighs 1 lb + 2 ozs.

Thanks in advance for any help.


The contents would be 2000 identical, slightly toned (by now) year 2000 Sacs,
with the mintmark of whichever mint plant made them, in a mint-sewn heavy
denim bag. A tag on the bag will say which mint plant made them.

Might it contain two rolls of 25?
That would fit with the entire weight of the package - the coins
weighing ~14½ oz and the packaging making up the other 3½ oz.
I would say that the contents are worth $2000, plus whatever premium someone
would pay for such an unopened box/bag. You'd be surprised at how much some
will pay for something like that on eBay. ;-)

They may get a surprise!
