Rarity Factors and Value Drivers

Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 2006 Sacagawea Dollars. Due to their limited circulation, many coins remain in pristine condition. Uncirculated examples (MS65 and above) are readily available and command only slight premiums over their face value.

For proof coins, cameo and deep cameo contrasts between the frosted design elements and mirrored fields can significantly enhance value, particularly in grades PR68 and above.

The 2006 Sacagawea Dollar's value is primarily driven by its numismatic interest rather than circulation demand. Factors affecting value include:

1. Mint State Grade: Higher grades (MS67+) can command premium prices.
2. Strike Quality: Well-struck coins with full detail are more desirable.
3. Luster: Coins with exceptional luster are valued higher.
4. Toning: Natural, attractive toning can increase appeal to some collectors.
5. Proof Characteristics: For proof coins, deep cameo contrast is highly prized.

While not rare, the limited mintage compared to earlier years in the series may contribute to long-term appreciation potential for high-grade examples.
