Dollar coins released on August 16, 2007, with Thomas Jefferson’s image on the obverse, are among the most collectible Presidential coins. The US Mint produced precisely 203,610,000 pieces for circulation and almost four million proofs.

After spending a decade in use, most are worn out and damaged. Therefore, the 2007 Thomas Jefferson coin value can be high when you come across one in first-grade condition. Besides, finding an error can bring you decent money.

History Of The 2007 Thomas Jefferson Dollar Coin

Senator John E. Sununu proposed a coin act about minting Presidential one-coin dollars on May 17, 2005. He got many supporters thanks to more than 70 co-sponsors, and the Presidential $1 Coin Program started on Presidents Day (February 15, 2007).

The idea was to issue four coins with ex-American Presidents on the obverse and the Statue of Liberty on the reverse per year. It was an excellent way to educate the nation and honor the men who led the country from 1789 to these days.

2007 Thomas Jefferson Dollar Errors

The US Mint struck Thomas Jefferson dollar coins from 2007 to 2016, making them common and affordable. However, several errors can bring you additional money if you are lucky to find one. The most common error coins are:

Die clashes

This error occurs when dies strike each other without a planchet placed in between. As a result, you can see the opposing die design on the wrong coin side. Such a coin is worth about $30.

Doubled dies

Collectors have already found the Thomas Jefferson dollars with a doubling of the Statue of Liberty’s gown folds on the reverse. These coins are rare for now, and their price ranges from $50 to $100.

Edge lettering errors

These errors are popular and common in Presidential series. Such coins often come with messed-up edge lettering or partially/totally missed inscriptions. The most collectible are:

• Missing edge lettering – About 1,000 scarce Jefferson dollars have a smooth edge without any inscription. Such an error occurs when the coin entirely misses the edge lettering process.
• Their initially estimated price was $5,000, but you can find them for $25 to $400 nowadays. The most expensive known coin with this imperfection was sold for $1,725.
• Partial edge lettering – This popular error is sought-after among collectors, although it is not particularly rare. Most Jefferson dollars with such an imperfection cost $20 to $30.
• Weak edge lettering – This well-known semi-smooth edge error includes lightly struck lettering on the coin edge and is worth $50. The most expensive coin in MS 66 grade was paid $200.
• Dollar out of sequence edge motto – This error implies a messed up inscription sequence on the edge when E PLURIBUS UNUM and IN GOD WE TRUST switched their places. No one knows how many such coins exist, but they are surely scarce. There is no official price for this error, but one of the owners asks $10,000 for this atypical Jefferson dollar.
