What is a 2013-D Treaty with the Delawares Native American Dollar worth?
Collectors pay a real premium for this date, worn or not, because far fewer were made than usual. Uncirculated pieces go much higher.
What would make yours worth more:
- Uncirculated condition with full original luster
- A die variety or minting error
- Certification by PCGS or NGC, which buyers expect for scarce dates
For market prices, check recent sold results for certified coins in the same grade.
Quick answers
- Is the 2013-D Treaty with the Delawares Native American Dollar rare?
- Somewhat. 1,820,000 were made, fewer than most dates, so collectors treat it as a semi-key.
- Is the 2013-D Treaty with the Delawares Native American Dollar silver?
- No. It's manganese brass (88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese, 2% nickel). Circulating silver dollars ended with the 1935 Peace dollar. Some Eisenhower dollars with an S mint mark were made in 40% silver for collectors, but circulation Ike dollars are copper-nickel clad.
- Where is the mint mark on a 2013 Sacagawea Dollar?
- On the edge, incused with the date. On this coin the mark is D, for Denver.
- How many 2013-D Treaty with the Delawares Native American Dollar coins were made?
- 1,820,000.
What to check on your 2013-D
- Make sure the mint mark really is a D. A worn or filled mark can be misread. It's what separates your coin from the 2013-P (1.8 million made).
- Proof or circulation strike? A proof has mirror-like fields and frosted design details and was sold to collectors, not released in change. The 2013-S Treaty with the Delawares Native American Dollar Proof (802,460 made) is the one to compare with.
- Judge the grade under good light. Golden dollars tarnish easily, so bright original color matters. Check Sacagawea's cheek and the eagle's feathers for wear.
The story of the 2013-D Treaty with the Delawares
Denver made 1,820,000 of the Treaty with the Delawares native american dollar.
Philadelphia struck a similar number of the same design (1.8 million), so neither mint's version is much harder to find.
Across the whole program it sits 7th of 23 Denver designs by mintage, where the scarcest is Ely S. Parker at 980,000.
The first Native American reverses (2009 to 2015)
In 2009 the reverse began changing every year to honor a Native American contribution to American history: the Three Sisters of corn, beans and squash in 2009, the Great Law of Peace in 2010, the Wampanoag treaty in 2011, trade routes in 2012, the treaty with the Delawares in 2013, Native hospitality in 2014 and the Mohawk ironworkers in 2015. Glenna Goodacre's portrait of Sacagawea stayed on the obverse.
The date and mint mark moved to the edge in 2009, lettered with E PLURIBUS UNUM, so the edge is where you check which mint made your coin. A law of 2007 required that at least a fifth of all dollar coins struck each year carry the Native American design, which kept production going even when demand was low.
How to recognize it
The Treaty with the Delawares design
Three animals fill the 2013 reverse: a turkey, a howling wolf and a turtle, the symbols of the clans of the Delaware, or Lenape, people. A ring of 13 stars around them represents the original colonies. The design commemorates the Treaty of Fort Pitt, signed in 1778 near present Pittsburgh. It was the first formal written treaty between the United States and a Native American tribe. The Delaware agreed to allow American troops to pass through their lands.
The Sacagawea Dollar design
Glenna Goodacre's obverse shows Sacagawea looking over her shoulder while carrying her infant son, Jean Baptiste. From 2000 to 2008 the reverse showed a soaring eagle by Thomas Rogers. From 2009 each year has a new reverse on a Native American theme and the date and mint mark moved to the edge. The golden color comes from a manganese brass outer layer.
