Glenna Goodacre 2000-P 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]

The coin is marked with a P, indicating it is one of the Presentation dollars. It is an official United States gold coin.

Important Note: Sacagawea was an interpreter and guide for Meriwether Lewis and William Clark's expedition westward from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Coast.

Condition: excellent condition

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