What to check on your 2007-S
- Make sure the mint mark really is an S. A worn or filled mark can be misread. It's what separates your coin from the 2007-D (287 million made).
- 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.
Proofs from 2007 come with and without frosted devices. Coins with strong contrast are labeled Cameo or Deep Cameo and are worth more.
The story of the 2007-S Idaho
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 Idaho design
The head of a peregrine falcon looms over an outline of the state, with a star marking the capital, Boise. The Latin state motto ESTO PERPETUA, meaning let it be forever, appears beside the outline. The falcon recalls the World Center for Birds of Prey near Boise, which helped bring the species back from the brink of extinction. Idaho became the forty-third state in 1890. Its quarter was the third 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.
