The term “Sequoyah dollar coin” typically refers to the 2017 Native American dollar coin which honors Sequoyah, the creator of the Cherokee syllabary. While its face value is $1, its collector value can vary significantly based on factors like:
- Condition: Uncirculated coins generally fetch higher prices than circulated ones.
- Mint mark: Coins struck at different mints (Philadelphia – P, Denver – D, San Francisco – S for proofs) can have varying values.
- Proof or uncirculated finish: Proof coins, struck specifically for collectors, often have a higher value than standard circulation strikes.
Based on recent data (as of August 2025):
- Circulated 2017 P and 2017 D Sequoyah dollars are generally worth their face value of $1.05 – $1.35.
- Uncirculated 2017 D Sequoyah dollars in good condition can be found for prices around $10.25 . However, those in pristine, uncirculated condition can sell for as much as $325.
- A 2017 S Native American Sequoyah Gem Proof coin can be purchased for around $4.16 – $21.38 depending on the seller.
- A 2017 S Sequoyah Proof Deep Cameo (PR DCAM) coin could be worth between $13.00 and $27.00.
Note: A particularly valuable error variety, the “2000-P Sacagawea Dollar with the ‘Cheerios Finish'” is also mentioned, selling for over $5,000. However, this is distinct from the 2017 Sequoyah coin.
