Therefore, a Thomas Jefferson dollar coin from the period 1801-1809 does not exist as a circulating U.S. dollar coin minted in those years. Thomas Jefferson was president from 1801-1809, and his image appears on the Presidential dollar coin minted in 2007.
- Circulated coins: These coins are worth face value, which is $1.
- Uncirculated coins: Can sell for slightly more than face value, typically around $1.95 – $6.50.
- Errors: Certain errors, like missing edge lettering, can increase the value significantly.
If you possess a coin from that era that you believe features Thomas Jefferson, it is possible it’s a commemorative coin or a different type of coin. You may want to consult with a professional coin appraiser or a numismatist for more specific information.
