Design & Context

• Inaugural Year of Issue: 2007 was the launch year of the Presidential $1 Coin Program, with John Adams being the second president honored (following George Washington).

• Edge Lettering Feature: Series 2007 marked the introduction of incuse edge lettering for the date, mint mark (D), and mottos (E PLURIBUS UNUM, IN GOD WE TRUST).

• Special Issue Origin: This slab originates from a limited-edition aftermarket/retail packaging run (frequently marketed through home shopping networks or direct mail promotions) using genuine First Day of Issue coins certified in bulk by ICG, limited to a run of 9,875 sets.

Condition & Grading Notes

• Technical Grade (ICG MS67):

  • Surfaces: Clean, satin golden luster with strong cheek and hair definition on the Adams portrait.

  • Bag Marks: Free of noticeable heavy reeding hits or deep contact marks in the prime focal areas.

  • TPG Consideration: While MS67 is a very high technical grade, market liquidity for ICG-slabbed modern base-metal issues trades at a discount compared to top-tier grading services (PCGS/NGC).
