What is a 2007-P Washington Quarter worth?
Worn examples are worth face value and can be spent. Keep it only if it looks uncirculated or shows a known variety.
What would make yours worth more:
- Uncirculated condition with full original luster
- A die variety or minting error
For market prices, check recent sold results for certified coins in the same grade.
Quick answers
- Is the 2007-P Washington Quarter rare?
- No. 265 million were made, a typical run for the series. Condition and varieties decide its value, not the date.
- Is the 2007-P Washington Quarter silver?
- No. It's copper core clad in 75% copper / 25% nickel. Quarters dated 1964 and earlier are 90% silver.
- Where is the mint mark on a 2007 50 State Quarter?
- On the obverse, to the right of Washington's ponytail (P, D or S). On this coin the mark is P, for Philadelphia.
- How many 2007-P Washington Quarter coins were made?
- 265,200,000.
What to check on your 2007-P
- Make sure the mint mark really is a P. A worn or filled mark can be misread. It's what separates your coin from the 2007-D (280 million made).
- Proof or circulation strike? A proof has mirror-like fields and frosted design details and was sold to collectors, not released in change. The 2007-S Washington Quarter Proof (2,374,778 made) is the one to compare with.
- A face that's fully copper colored could be a missing clad layer error. Patchy discoloration is usually damage.
- Judge the grade under good light. State quarters are judged mainly on luster and contact marks. Look for die varieties and errors, which carry the real premiums in this series.
With 265 million made, the 2007-P 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-P Washington
Philadelphia made 265,200,000 of the Washington quarter. Among the 5 designs of 2007 it was the second largest Philadelphia run, between Montana (257 million) and Idaho (295 million).
Denver struck a similar number of the same design (280 million), so neither mint's version is much harder to find.
Across the whole program it sits 23rd of 50 Philadelphia designs by mintage, where the scarcest is Iowa at 214 million.
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 Washington design
A king salmon leaps from the water with Mount Rainier towering in the background, along with the words THE EVERGREEN STATE. Salmon are important to the ecology of the Pacific Northwest and to the tribes of the region. Mount Rainier, an active volcano, is the highest peak in the Cascade Range. The nickname refers to the dense forests that cover much of Washington, which became the forty-second state in 1889. Its quarter was the second release of 2007.
The 50 State Quarter design
To make room for each state design, the obverse was rearranged: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST and QUARTER DOLLAR all moved to the side with Washington's portrait. The reverse shows the state's design with its name, the year it joined the Union or ratified the Constitution, the year of issue and E PLURIBUS UNUM. The mint mark is to the right of Washington's ponytail.
