Description

The 2000-P "Wounded Eagle" (or "Speared Eagle") Sacagawea dollar is a rare and valuable die variety featuring raised lines across the eagle's chest on the reverse, often selling for $200–$350+ in Mint State. Identified as FS-901, it is a Philadelphia-minted coin with fewer than 2000 examples confirmed by PCGS. Key Facts About the Wounded Eagle Dollar: Variety Description: Three raised die gouges (gash-like lines) cut across the lower portion of the eagle’s torso and wing. Cause: A damaged die at the Philadelphia Mint (not an intentional design).Rarity & Value: Very scarce; 99.999% of 2000-P dollars are normal. Certified Mint State (MS) examples typically command $200–$350, with higher grades reaching thousands. Authentication: The lines must be raised (die imperfection). Sunken lines indicate a fake, commonly created with a tool. Important Distinctions: Wounded Eagle vs. Cheerios Dollar: Do not confuse the "Wounded Eagle" (raised die gouge) with the highly rare "Cheerios" prototype dollar, which has detailed tail feathers. Mint Mark: This variety is primarily found on 2000-P (Philadelphia) coins.
