What is a 2007-D George Washington Presidential Dollar worth?
A worn 2007-D George Washington is a spender: face value. A bright uncirculated one, or one with a known error, is worth setting aside.
What would make yours worth more:
- Uncirculated condition with full original luster
- A known variety for the date: 2007 "Godless" Presidential Dollar

Quick answers
- Is the 2007-D George Washington Presidential Dollar rare?
- No. With 164 million made, it's one of the most common Presidential Dollars.
- Is the 2007-D George Washington Presidential Dollar silver?
- No. It's manganese brass (88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese, 2% nickel). Circulating silver dollars ended with the 1935 Peace dollar. Some Eisenhower dollars with an S mint mark were made in 40% silver for collectors, but circulation Ike dollars are copper-nickel clad.
- Where is the mint mark on a 2007 Presidential Dollar?
- On the edge, incused along with the date and mottos. On this coin the mark is D, for Denver.
- How many 2007-D George Washington Presidential Dollar coins were made?
- 163,680,000.
What to check on your 2007-D
- Make sure the mint mark really is a D. A worn or filled mark can be misread. It's what separates your coin from the 2007-P (177 million made).
- Look for the 2007 "Godless" Presidential Dollar (it's on Philadelphia coins, not this one).
- Judge the grade under good light. Check the high points of each portrait and the edge lettering, which should be complete and evenly spaced.
With 164 million made, the 2007-D still turns up in everyday change. Keep yours only if it looks uncirculated or shows a variety; otherwise it's worth face value.
The story of the 2007-D George Washington
Denver made 163,680,000 of the George Washington presidential dollar. That was the biggest Denver run of the 4 designs issued in 2007; James Madison had the smallest at 88 million.
Philadelphia struck a similar number of the same design (177 million), so neither mint's version is much harder to find.
Across the whole program it's one of the most plentiful Denver designs.
A new dollar every few months (2007 to 2008)
The program opened in 2007 with George Washington and added four presidents a year in the order they served. The date, mint mark, E PLURIBUS UNUM and IN GOD WE TRUST were all lettered on the edge, which led to the best-known modern error of the series: dollars that left the Mint with a plain edge, missing all of that lettering.
Philadelphia and Denver struck hundreds of millions of the first coins and they did reach everyday change for a while. Most people still preferred paper dollars, though, so plenty of these early coins went straight into bank vaults. Check the edge of any 2007 or 2008 coin you find.
Elsewhere in US coinage in 2007
The Presidential dollar program began, honoring presidents in order of service, with the date and mint mark moved to the edge.
How to recognize it
The George Washington design
George Washington was the first president of the United States, serving from 1789 to 1797. Before taking office he commanded the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War and presided over the Constitutional Convention of 1787. He chose not to seek a third term, setting a two-term tradition that held until 1940. His coin opened the Presidential $1 Coin Program in 2007. Like every coin in the series, it carries a Statue of Liberty reverse designed by Don Everhart.
The Presidential Dollar design
The obverse shows a president with his name and the order and years of his time in office. The reverse shows the Statue of Liberty with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and $1. The date, mint mark and E PLURIBUS UNUM are lettered on the edge, along with IN GOD WE TRUST on coins struck before 2009, so check the edge for the mint mark.
