The value of a George Washington $1 coin can vary depending on several factors, primarily its condition and any potential errors.
- Most George Washington Presidential dollars minted in 2007 (or other years in the series) are worth their face value of $1.00.
- If you have a circulated coin, its value will likely not exceed $4.
- Uncirculated condition: If your coin is in pristine, uncirculated condition, it may be worth slightly more than face value, perhaps a few dollars.
- Missing edge lettering: A known error exists where some 2007 George Washington dollar coins were minted without the required edge inscriptions (“E PLURIBUS UNUM • IN GOD WE TRUST • 2007 P (or D for mint)”). These “Godless dollars” can be more valuable, potentially reaching around $50 in average uncirculated condition, or even hundreds or thousands of dollars for top-condition specimens graded MS-68 or higher.
- Position B (edge lettering): Some 2007-P George Washington dollars are specifically designated as “Position B,” meaning the edge lettering is facing “heads up” when the coin is held with Washington’s portrait upright. These can be sold for considerably more than face value, sometimes reaching hundreds or even thousands of dollars depending on the condition and specific market demand.
Note: If you believe your George Washington dollar coin may be worth more than its face value due to its condition or potential errors, it’s recommended to have it professionally graded by a reputable third-party grading service like NGC or PCGS.
