The Date and Mint Mark were moved to the edge of the Sacagawea Dollar with the release of the Native American coin Series in 2009 which retained the Sacagawea Bust on the Obverse. I do not have an image of a 2009 coin but offer this image of the 2010 version from the US Mint. Pictures, even rudimentary pictures would answer a lot of questions.

This is a very short-run series, as the Type 1 (Liberty Head) Gold Dollar variety was minted for only 6 years from 1849 to 1854. The Type 2 and Type 3 (Indian Princess) Gold Dollar designs that followed were the exact same weight, but made thinner with an increased diameter of 2 mm for a total new diameter of 15mm (a 15% increase in diameter ...

Curiously the cent denomination is the longest and most continuous in production by the US mint, even during the depression there was low demand, but enough to warrant minting them. The only year the cent was not minted was 1815, due to a lack of supply of blanks that were purchased from Britain.
It should be noted that this difference is just between the 80 or 90% of "typical" coins for each mint. At the bottom of the scale the difference is even greater and at the very top there is little difference at all. Indeed, the best .1% of the Philly issue is often superior to the top Denver coins. cladking, May 19, 2008.
GeorgeM Well-Known Member. "In 2017, the public found out that the U.S. Mint was secretly minting a small number of Silver Eagles at the Philadelphia and San Francisco Mints due to a Freedom of Information Act. Only 79,640 of the near 50,000,000 2015 Silver Eagles were minted at Philadelphia. That's about 1/10th of a percent!
