The value of a 2007 George Washington dollar coin can vary significantly depending on its condition and whether it’s a regular strike or an error coin.
- Regular Strike Coins (Circulated):
– In most cases, a circulated 2007 George Washington dollar coin is worth its face value, or potentially slightly above face value in good condition.
– Prices observed range from around $1.05 to $20, with higher grades commanding slightly higher prices.
– For example, a 2007-D George Washington Presidential Dollar in brilliant uncirculated condition may sell for around $2.99, [according to an eBay listing].
- Error Coins:
– Missing Edge Lettering (Godless Dollars): These are the most well-known and valuable error coins in the series. It’s estimated there are between 50,000 to 100,000 of these coins.
– Early sales of these coins reached over $600.
– Current values range from $40 to $50 for lower grade coins to $200 to $400 for higher-grade examples.
– An MS67 grade missing edge lettering coin was listed for $99.95.
– Die Clash Errors: Some 2007-P George Washington dollars have prominent die clash errors. A major die clash error was listed on eBay for $149.95.
– Other Errors: Other errors and varieties can exist, including weak edge lettering and positional errors. Some of these can command prices ranging from tens to hundreds of dollars depending on the specific error and its prominence, [according to PCGS].
Factors influencing value:
- Condition (Grade): Coins in better condition (higher grades like MS65, MS67) generally fetch higher prices than those with significant wear.
- Errors and Varieties: Error coins, especially those with missing edge lettering, are highly sought after by collectors and can command significantly higher prices than regular strike coins.
- Mint Mark: Coins from the Philadelphia (P) and Denver (D) mints were produced for circulation.
- Proof Sets: Proof versions of the George Washington dollar, minted in San Francisco (S), were also produced and have a separate value, with some PR70DCAM examples being auctioned for around $9.51.

What is the error on the 2007 George Washington dollar coin?
Good point! Aside from missing the edge lettering, other edge letter anomalies are being discovered, including partial and multiple edge lettering. For example, this 2007 P Washington Dollar is missing the words E PLURIBUS UNUM (Photo 3a).
Where is the mint mark on a 2007 George Washington dollar?
Thanks for asking. Along the edge, incused lettering features the date of minting, mint mark, and the mottoes e pluribus unum and in god we trust. Presidential dollars are struck in the same “golden” alloy as the Sacagawea dollar.
What is the position B on the 2007 P George Washington dollar coin?
Jaime Hernandez: The 2007-P Washington Dollar is the first Presidential Dollar coin released by the U.S. A 2007-P George Washington Dollar with a Position B will have the coin’s edge lettering facing the correct way, when the President’s portrait faces up.
