What is a 2007-D John Adams Presidential Dollar worth?
A worn 2007-D John Adams 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 John Adams Presidential Dollar rare?
- No. With 112 million made, it's one of the most common Presidential Dollars.
- Is the 2007-D John Adams 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 John Adams Presidential Dollar coins were made?
- 112,140,000.
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 (112 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 112 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 John Adams
Denver made 112,140,000 of the John Adams presidential dollar. Among the 4 designs of 2007 it was the second largest Denver run, between Thomas Jefferson (103 million) and George Washington (164 million).
Philadelphia struck a similar number of the same design (112 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 John Adams design
John Adams served as the second president from 1797 to 1801 after eight years as vice president under George Washington. His administration guided the country through the Quasi-War, an undeclared naval conflict with France. In 1798 he signed the Alien and Sedition Acts. Adams became the first president to live in the White House when he moved in during November 1800. He died on July 4, 1826, the same day as Thomas Jefferson.
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.
