Today, weβre uncovering a jaw-dropping error that turned an ordinary $1 Sacagawea coin into an $84,000 treasure.
Yes, you read that right β this small golden dollar could be worth more than a brand-new luxury car! ππ°
π How to Identify the $84,000 Sacagawea Mule Coin
This rare coin features a mix-up between two completely different dollar programs β creating whatβs known as a βmule error.β
Hereβs what to look for:
β‘οΈ Obverse (Front):
- Sacagawea carrying her baby, Jean Baptiste
- The same design used since the year 2000
β‘οΈ Reverse (Back):
- β Instead of the normal soaring eagle, this error shows the Statue of Liberty, which belongs to Presidential dollars
If your Sacagawea dollar has this unusual combination, congratulations β you might be holding one of the most valuable modern coin errors in U.S. history! πͺπ
π§ Why This Error Is So Valuable
Most people assume all dollar coins are worth more than $1 β but thatβs not true!
β
Regular Sacagawea dollars (with eagle reverse) β Usually worth $1
β
Standard Presidential dollars β Also worth $1
β Mule Error Coin (Sacagawea front + Statue of Liberty back) β Worth up to $84,000+ π²
This is a true minting accident β a mule pairing that occurred when two mismatched coin dies were struck together. Only a few have ever surfaced, and every verified one has sold for tens of thousands of dollars at auction.
π Current Estimated Value
