The $100,000 Sacagawea Mule Error in 60 Seconds
Type: Mule Error Coin
What to Look For:
Obverse (Front): Sacagawea with baby Jean Baptiste
Reverse (Back): Statue of Liberty design from the Presidential Dollar
Not the usual eagle or Native American reverse
Mismatch = Big Money
How to Check Your Coins (Quick Guide)
- Flip It Over
- If you see the Statue of Liberty instead of the eagle or Native American scene… STOP. You may have a mule.
- Confirm the Obverse
- The front must still show Sacagawea (2000–present design).
- Inspect the Edge
- Should match standard dollar edges (inscription may vary).
- Check Against Photos
- DON’T Clean or Alter It
- Even a fingerprint can impact the value!
