Design and Specifications of the 2017 Dollar
The 2017 Dollar coin is part of the Native American Dollar series, which began in 2009 as a continuation of the Sacagawea Dollar. The series features annually changing reverse designs celebrating the important contributions made by Native American tribes and individuals to the history and development of the United States.
The 2017 reverse design honors Sequoyah, a member of the Cherokee Nation who created a system for writing the Cherokee language in the early 19th century. This coin represents a significant aspect of Native American cultural preservation and education.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of 2017 Dollar coins significantly impacts their value, especially for circulation strikes. Uncirculated examples with full luster and no signs of wear are highly desirable. For proof coins, cameo and deep cameo contrasts between frosted devices and mirrored fields can increase value.
Due to limited circulation, many coins remain in pristine condition. However, contact marks and bag chatter can still affect value, particularly on the high points of the design and open fields.

Strike quality is an important factor, with fully struck coins commanding premiums. The color and quality of toning can also affect value, with attractive, natural toning being desirable to some collectors.
While not rare, the limited mintage compared to earlier years in the series may lead to increased interest from collectors in the future. The historical significance of Sequoyah and the Cherokee syllabary may also drive demand among those interested in Native American history and culture.
