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. Jim |

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. 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. ;-) -- ___________________________________________ ____ _______________ Regards, | |\ ____ | | | | |\ Michael G.

Question About 2000 Sacagawea Dollar U.S. Mint Box
Thanks for your input, Michael. Although I am unsure of the exact
contents of the box, I am almost positive that it is not a mint-sewn bag. I remember ordering "rolls" back in 2000. I know from the label "SA4 002" info that there are two of something inside the box. It could be two identical rolls from the same mint, or a 2-roll Philly/Denver set, or even two sets. I was hoping that the box weight might indicate something to somebody in-the-know, but unfortunately none of the replies to my question has shed any light on it. I re-weighed the box today on a digital postal scale. It is 1.01 lbs. I have no idea what a 25-coin Sacagawea roll weighs, but if someone does, it will at least confrm the roll quantity in the box. If the contents remain a mystery, I think I'll just put the box up for auction with the little info I do have and include a scan of the label. Maybe there are some collectors out there who will know what I am offering and be interested. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks again for your two-cents (pun intended).

Is that indeed the weight of two 25-coin rolls? Knowing that for sure will allow me to at least rule out "two sets". Thanks, Jim Michael G. Koerner wrote Jim Sienkiewicz wrote: Hello.
