Values
A Presidential dollar’s market depends on the president, the mint, edge lettering, and the grade. This page is a series reference, not a price list.
The G, VF, and MS-63 columns sit in the mintage chart below. Those figures are from the NGC US Coin Price Guide, retrieved 2026-08-23. They are a published guide, not an offer and not melt. A blank cell means that grade was not printed in this pass. This is one program page, not one page per president. American Innovation dollars are not this series.
A dealer looking at the coin in hand will beat a guide number. If you are trying to sell a pile of them, start with how to sell a coin collection and the Ohio coin dealer directory.
Key Dates
PCGS CoinFacts and NGC named no traditional key-date list for this program in this pass. This page will not invent one. Do not call a later president a key because the printed count is smaller.
There is no key-date bolding on the mintage chart for that reason. A worn common date is still worn.
Errors
These are named varieties. This page will not invent a count.
Missing edge lettering. A named 2007 variety. This chart does not invent a count.
American Innovation dollars. A different series. Not this page.
Compare the coin in hand to the NGC Coin Explorer Presidential page. We do not host their plates.
Varieties
Each president is a design. Edge lettering is the variety collectors actually sort. A missing motto on the edge is not a new portrait.
- Missing edge letteringA named 2007 variety, most often discussed on the Washington dollar. The date, mint mark, and motto were left off the edge. This chart does not invent a count.
- Edge position A and position BEarly dates come with the edge lettering reading in two directions. Guides name the positions. They are not two presidents.
Names follow PCGS CoinFacts and NGC, the same publishers this site already cites. This is a name list, not a price list and not a count.
Mintage
Presidential dollars were struck at Philadelphia and Denver for circulation. The counts below are the NGC Coin Explorer business-strike cells that printed a mintage in this pass.

Read the president. Read the edge. Look at the cheek before you argue a missing motto.
Specifications
These are mint specs, not what a dealer pays. Wear can take a little weight off. We will not invent a tolerance.
A Presidential dollar is manganese-brass clad with edge lettering. This is one program page. American Innovation dollars are not this series.
| Specification | Figure |
|---|---|
| Diameter | 26.5 mm |
| Thickness | 2 mm |
| Weight | 8.1 g |
| Composition | manganese-brass clad copper |
| Edge | Lettered |
| Designer | Changing presidential portraits; Don Everhart Statue of Liberty reverse |
Thickness 2 mm, weight 8.1 g, and diameter 26.5 mm are the Numista Presidential type page figures (N#1491, Washington). This is one program page. American Innovation dollars are not this series.
Grading
A Presidential dollar wears first on the portrait’s cheek and on Liberty’s torch and folds. Missing edge lettering is a named variety, not a grade.
This is one program page for 2007–2020. It is not one page per president. American Innovation dollars are a different series.
Key Diagnostic Areas
| Area | What to examine | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Portrait cheek | The cheek and hair on that year’s president. | Those high points flatten while the coat can still look busy. |
| Statue of Liberty | Liberty’s torch and folds on the reverse. | The torch goes slick first. That reverse is the program, not a new series per president. |
| Edge lettering | Date, mint mark, and mottos on the edge. | Missing edge lettering is a named variety. It is not a higher grade. |
| Which president | The name and term dates on the obverse. | Each president is a design in one program. This page will not split them into separate series. |

Poor
Poor
A disk you can still call the Presidential dollar if you already know it.
- The high points are gone.
- The date may be a shadow.
- Do not invent a variety at this wear.
AG
About Good
You might read a digit. The high points are already slick.
- The design is an outline.
- If you cannot read the date without hoping, stay here.
- Look at the type before you name a variety.
Good
Good
The date is readable. The design is still mostly an outline.
- The high points are flat.
- Leftover field detail does not save it.
- This is a worn coin, not a details story.
VG
Very Good
The date is clear. A little life returns away from the high points.
- Some leftover detail comes back.
- The high points are still tired.
- Do not clean the date to see it better.
Fine
Fine
You can follow the design. The high points are outlined, not sharp.
- The type is readable.
- The high points are not crisp.
- The date should be clear.
VF
Very Fine
The design is doing real work. The high points still decide.
- Leftover detail sits away from the cheek and torch.
- The center of the cheek and torch is still the worn spot.
- A pretty tone does not hide a slick high point.
EF
Extremely Fine
Most of the coin looks sharp. The high points tell on it.
- Light wear on the same high points.
- The rest of the coin can look better than the grade.
- Trust the cheek and torch.
AU
About Uncirculated
Almost no wear — and almost lives on the same spots.
- A trace of rub on the cheek and torch.
- Luster may still sit in the fields.
- A bright slick high point is still rub.
Basal MS
Mint State
No wear. The fight is marks and luster.
- No rub on the cheek and torch.
- Marks and luster decide how this mint-state coin lives.
- A bright chewed coin is still chewed.
Choice
Choice Mint State
Still no wear. Cleaner fields than basal mint state.
- Same no-wear rule on the cheek and torch.
- Fewer marks in the fields.
- A slab is an opinion in plastic.
Gem
Gem Mint State
Clean high points and fields. Still mint state, still not a story.
- No wear on the cheek and torch.
- Marks and luster, not a romance copied onto MS-63.
- The glossary has the numbers.
Proof Presidential dollars exist. This page does not invent a PR price grid — NGC did not print one in the 2026-08-23 sheet used here. The proof numbers live on the glossary.
Copper color designations (BN, RB, RD) do not apply here. Those belong on copper coins such as the Indian Head cent. See the Lincoln Wheat cent and the glossary.
Overview
A Presidential dollar is a United States dollar coin with a president on the front and the Statue of Liberty on the back. Collectors mean the 2007–2020 program. This site keeps that program on one page. It does not split one URL per president.
People like them because the portraits give you something to sort. They are also easy to ruin. A wiped dollar looks “better” to a seller and worse to everyone else.
This page is a series article, not a shop listing.
History
The Mint began the Presidential dollar program in 2007. Circulation issues run through the presidents NGC printed in this pass. American Innovation dollars are a later program and a different series.
This page will not invent a shop list or a first-spouse story to fill the years between.
Design
Obverse: that president’s portrait, name, and term dates. Reverse: the Statue of Liberty and ONE DOLLAR. Edge: date, mint mark, and mottos.
Look at the cheek, the torch, and the edge. A Liberty obverse with an innovation reverse is the other small-dollar program.
People Also Ask
What years are Presidential dollars?
The program runs 2007 through 2016, then George H. W. Bush in 2020. NGC counts stay as printed. The presidents NGC left blank, including 2016 and 2020, are Wikipedia business strikes. Proofs stay off.
How much is a Presidential dollar worth?
It depends on the president, the mint, edge lettering, and the grade. The G, VF, and MS-63 columns in the mintage chart are NGC guide values from 2026-08-23, not an offer. A dealer looking at the actual coin will beat a guide number.
Why isn’t each president on its own page?
This is one circulating program. The lock is one series per page, not one president per page.
Are American Innovation dollars on this page?
No. That is a different series with a Liberty obverse and changing innovation reverses.
Why are some presidents missing?
The missing Philadelphia and Denver business strikes are the Wikipedia figures, including Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and George H. W. Bush. Proofs stay off. This page will not invent a count.
Collector Considerations
Buy the coin, not the story.
If you inherited a box, do not scrub the date to “see it better.” Keep them in the holders they arrived in, or in cheap cardboard flips, and take the box to a person who sees this series every week. The coin dealer directory starts in Ohio. This site does not invent shop names to fill a paragraph.
Raw coins are fine. So are slabs. What is not fine is a coin that has been cleaned until the fields look like glass, then offered as “original.”
If you collect by type, one honest circulated Washington will teach you the cheek and the edge. For the earlier golden dollar, read the Sacagawea dollar.
A Final Word
These coins reward people who slow down. Read the date. Read the mint mark. Leave the polish under the sink.
When you want the eagle reverse, the Sacagawea dollar is already here.
