The 2007 Thomas Jefferson Dollar was the third proof Presidential Dollar design in the Presidential Dollar Series.

The coins were only sold in a four piece proof set. Each set contained a Proof Presidential Dollar coin with a portrait of George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Each coin will display an S mint mark on the edge of the coin, since the coins were struck at the San Francisco Mint.

The date, inscriptions in God We Trust and E Pluribus Unum were also placed on the edge of the coin. Proof coins have the edge inscriptions struck on the edge of the coin by a segmented three part collar die, unlike circulation strike Presidential Dollars which have the edge inscriptions applied on the edge by a Schuler Edge Lettering Machine.

Each 2007 Presidential Dollar Proof Set was offered directly from the mint for $14.95 each, with no ordering limits imposed. The sets went on sale in the middle of June 2007.

 
Varieties
 
There are varieties for this issue where the edge motto on the coin is out of sequence. The edge of the coin should normally read, "2007-S E Pluribus Unum - In God We Trust," however, some coins were produced with the wrong sequence and they read "2007-S In God We Trust - E Pluribus Unum."
