2000-P Goodacre Presentation Sacagawea Dollar Bolo Tie

This unique bolo tie features a United States one dollar Sacagawea coin enclosed in a mounting created by the Denver Rotary Club to be worn as a pendant. The previous owner of this pendant had it converted for wear as a bolo tie. It is likely the only one in existence.

The Sacagawea Dollar was released in 2000. The official United States Gold Dollar is a copper-core coin cladded in manganese brass. The coin had its artistic merits, thanks to a gorgeous obverse design featuring the namesake Shoshone woman Sacagawea and her young infant son, Jean Baptiste; the obverse by renowned artist Glenna Goodacre was coupled with a soaring reverse design of an American eagle by Thomas D. Rogers.

Among the most noteworthy 2000-P Sacagawea Dollars stem from a grouping of 5,000 that were delivered to Goodacre by Director of the United States Mint Philip Diehl and a small cadre of security guards as the $5,000 payment for her obverse design. And these weren't just any 5,000 Sacagawea Dollars. Most of them feature a burnished finish. [PCGS - By Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez - March 11, 2021]

It is not known whether the coin in this bolo is one of the 5000 presented to the artist or whether it is one of the Mint issues in circulation. It is an official United States coin in either instance.

Condition: excellent condition

Provenance: this 2000-P Goodacre Presentation Sacagawea Dollar Bolo Tie is from the estate of the owner who commissioned the bolo.
