The 2017 Sacagawea Dollar does not carry a mint mark, indicating that it was produced without differentiating identifiers typically used by U.S. minting facilities. The coin is classified as a "Mint Strike," meaning it was produced under regular minting processes, typically resulting in a higher quality finish. Although the coin's physical dimensions and weight are not specified here, the Sacagawea Dollar's prominent design features an image of Sacagawea herself on the obverse (front), while the reverse (back) usually features an eagle in flight, symbolizing freedom and strength. Due to its relatively recent production date and moderate mintage, the 2017 Sacagawea Dollar may not hold significant numismatic value compared to rarer coins; however, it remains a collectible piece for enthusiasts of American currency and a symbol of cultural heritage. As a circulating coin, its face value is $1, but its collector value can vary based on condition and demand within the numismatic community.
