The Thomas Jefferson dollar coin, featuring his likeness and the years of his presidency (1801-1809), is part of the Presidential Dollar series, initiated by the US Mint in 2007.
It is important to note that these coins were minted starting in 2007, not during Jefferson’s actual presidency . The dates 1801-1809 refer to his time in office, not the year the specific coin was minted.
For the most part, these coins are worth their face value, $1 , especially if they have been circulated. However, some factors can influence their value:
- Condition: Coins in excellent, uncirculated condition can hold more value for collectors.
- Mint Mark: The mint mark, located on the edge of the coin, can sometimes affect the value, though it’s less significant for these modern dollar coins.
- Errors: Rare error coins, such as those with missing edge lettering, can be significantly more valuable. According to PCGS, around 1,300 Jefferson dollars with missing edge lettering have been graded.
- Rarity: While not considered rare in general terms, some variations or specific mintages may be more sought after by collectors.
Based on current online listings, circulated or standard uncirculated Thomas Jefferson Presidential dollars typically sell for a few dollars above face value. However, some listings claim much higher values for coins described as gold or having rare errors.
For accurate valuations and to identify potentially valuable error coins, it is recommended to consult with a professional coin appraiser or reputable coin dealer.
