A “Thomas Jefferson coin 1801-1809” likely refers to a Presidential Dollar coin featuring Thomas Jefferson, minted as part of the [US Mint’s Presidential $1 Coin Program] . These coins are relatively recent issues (released in 2007), despite commemorating Jefferson’s presidency from 1801-1809. Therefore, these are not coins actually minted between 1801 and 1809.
Here’s a breakdown of the value:
- Face Value: Most of these coins are worth their face value of $1, as they were intended for circulation.
- Uncirculated & Proof Coins: Uncirculated coins (in perfect condition) and proof coins (with a polished appearance, made for collectors) can fetch slightly higher prices:
– Uncirculated: $2 to $5.
– Proof: $6 to $10 or more.
- Error Coins: Coins with minting errors, like missing edge lettering, can be more valuable to collectors. For example, missing edge lettering instances can be estimated at $20 to $50.
- Graded Coins: Coins graded by reputable agencies like PCGS or NGC, particularly those in higher grades (MS-65 or above), can also command higher prices, potentially ranging from $5 to $20 for standard examples and $15 to $50 or more for near-perfect proof coins.
It’s important to note that the value can fluctuate based on the coin’s condition, rarity (in terms of specific errors or exceptional preservation), and collector demand.
If you are interested in potentially selling such a coin, it is recommended to consult with a professional coin appraiser or dealer for a more accurate assessment based on the specific coin you possess. You can find stores specializing in buying and selling coins, some with a large stock of rare coins and graded coins.
