The value of a John Adams one-dollar coin (part of the Presidential Dollar series, minted in 2007) depends on its condition and whether it has any errors.
- Circulated coins: If the coin is in circulated condition (shows signs of wear and tear from being handled), it’s generally worth its face value, which is $1.
- Uncirculated and Proof coins: Uncirculated or proof coins (coins that have been specially handled to preserve their original condition) can be worth more than face value, depending on their grade (a measure of their condition). For example, an uncirculated John Adams dollar graded as MS63 might be worth $5, while an MS66 could be worth $12. Some retailers offer uncirculated versions for a few dollars above face value.
- Error coins: Certain errors can significantly increase a coin’s value. For example, a John Adams Presidential Dollar with missing edge lettering (also known as a “Godless dollar”) has sold for over $3,000. Another error, the “Doubled Edge Lettering” variety, can also command a premium. The value of error coins can vary widely depending on the specific error and its rarity.
- Consult a reputable coin dealer or authenticator: They can help you determine the coin’s grade and identify any potential errors, providing a more accurate valuation.
- Check online marketplaces and auction results: Websites like eBay can offer a general idea of what similar coins have sold for recently.
- Research key dates and varieties: Certain dates or variations within the Presidential Dollar series might be more valuable than others.
