I can't tell what you're trying to show us with that edge nature it needs to be clearer.

Interesting that it does not appear to look like the other Sac, but we need your explanation as to why you think this is a transitional error, such as: the rim is blank, the weight is off, etc.

I found greenish coins like this, but never one that looked like dirty quarter. Im trying to look at some coins with my 5 and 6 year old kids for a summer activity. I did this on my summers as a kid and would love to keep up the tradition. So you want to check weight Did the Denver mint paint these green poorly? Thank you for your reply and help with our little find.

In that last picture,does it have a partially REEDED edge?

[Tessangelo]

yea but i don't know how,  looks like a dirty quarter but has some of that green on it. I think the minting dye process didn't stick to a susan b? or someone made this thing.

There are well documented transactional errors for the 2000 Sacagawea struck on the clad Susan B. Anthony planchets but the majority of those came out of the Philadelphia Mint. The partially reeded edge is a real puzzler though and the Mints did not create any green or attempt to create any green contrast coins, so I do not know what is making this coin greenish in color.

Just a guess but part of the reason for the appearance might be environmental damage,  This example is by far the worst preserved SAC dollar I have ever seen.

With the partially reeded edge, I would suspect contemporary counterfeit. There is no way a sac dollar from 2000 would have anything but a plain edge. Possibly one of the South American fakes?

US dollar coins are used in several South American countries. Counterfeits abound.
