Rarity Factors and Value Drivers

Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 2003 Sacagawea Dollars. Due to their limited circulation, many examples remain in high grades. For circulation strikes, coins in MS65 and above are relatively common but still command a premium.

Proof coins are generally found in high grades, with deep cameo contrast being a desirable feature that can increase value. The absence of contact marks and full, original luster are important factors for both circulation strikes and proofs.

2. Toning: While not common, attractive natural toning can increase appeal and value to some collectors.

3. Error Coins: Any significant mint errors, such as off-center strikes or die cracks, could command a premium.

4. First Day of Issue: Coins certified as being from the first day of minting may carry a slight premium for some collectors.
