About This Coin

The 2017 Native American Dollar is a United States dollar from the Sacagawea & Native American Dollars 2000 to Date series — 18th of 27 years in the series. In 2017, coins were struck at the Denver, San Francisco, and Philadelphia Mints with a combined mintage of 12.6 million. This ranks 16th of 25 years by total mintage, above the series median of 10.8 million. The obverse features Sacagawea carrying her infant son Jean Baptiste Crapeau on her back and the reverse displays rotating designs honoring Native American contributions to the United States. The 2017 Native American Dollar honors Sequoyah, the Cherokee scholar who single-handedly created the Cherokee syllabary, enabling Cherokee literacy and the first Native American newspaper. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. Weighing 8.1 grams, 26.5 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Struck two years before the 2019 key date, the lowest-mintage regular issue in the series. Across its variants, estimated values range from $1 to $12 depending on mint mark, grade, and strike type. A notable auction result reached $1.6K in MS68 grade at eBay. Designed by Glenna Goodacre/Chris Costello.
