About the 2007 nickel
The 2007 nickel is a regular circulation issue, struck in copper-nickel (75% copper, 25% nickel), weighing 5 g, 21.21 mm across, from a design by Donna Weaver. It was struck at Denver, Philadelphia — 1,149,840,000 coins in all, which is why an ordinary example is worth close to face value however well it has been kept.
Philadelphia made the fewest at 523,680,000, against 626,160,000 from Denver. The mints are within the same order of magnitude, so on this date the mint mark does far less to the price than condition does.
The spread on this date is almost entirely about condition. A worn example is $0.06; the same coin certified SP68FS carries a guide value of $22, and PCGS has graded 559 that high. Everything between those two numbers is a question of how the coin was handled in its first weeks.
Legends on this design — obverse: “IN GOD WE TRUST · Liberty”. Reverse: “E PLURIBUS UNUM · MONTICELLO · FIVE CENTS · UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”.
Population figures put that in perspective. Across the grades listed here PCGS has certified 742 examples of this date, and only 559 of them reached SP68FS. A coin that spent years in a till will not be among them; one pulled from a roll and never touched might be. That gap is the whole reason two coins with the same date sell for very different money.
There is also a record of what people actually paid. The highest recorded sale for this date is $1,260, at Heritage Auctions in August 2025. Auction results move around the guide values rather than matching them — the same coin can bring more on a day two determined bidders want it, and less when nobody does.

How to identify your 2007 nickel
What if it has already been cleaned?
Still identifies the same — you lose the premium. Don't try to fix it.
Where is the mint mark
It sits on the obverse below the date (1938–1964 and 1968 onward); above Monticello on the reverse for wartime issues. No letter means Philadelphia — normal, not rare. What the letter means →
Proof and collector versions
Alongside the coins made for circulation, the Mint sold 3 collector versions of the 2007 2007 nickel — proofs and special finishes struck at San Francisco and sold directly in sets. These never entered circulation, so if your coin came out of a till or a jar it is not one of them. They carry an S mint mark and a mirror or satin finish that is obvious next to an ordinary coin. The scarcest was struck in 895,628.
| Format | Mint | Mintage | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Proof | S | 2,577,1662.6M | $2.16 |
| Satin Finish | D | 895,628896K | $1.03 |

FAQ
How much is a 2007 nickel worth?
A circulated 2007 nickel is worth $0.06 to $0.79 depending on condition and mint mark. In top uncirculated grades it goes much higher — the PCGS guide reaches $22 in SP68FS.
How many 2007 nickels were made?
About 1,149,840,000 in total — Denver 626,160,000, Philadelphia 523,680,000. That is a large mintage, which is why circulated examples stay inexpensive.
Where is the mint mark on a 2007 nickel?
See “Where is the mint mark” above.
Are there rare 2007 nickel varieties?
No major varieties are catalogued for this date. That does not rule out minting errors on individual coins — off-centre strikes, clipped planchets and doubled dies turn up in any year — but there is no known variety that makes the date itself scarce. With 1,149,840,000 struck, a variety would need to be genuinely rare to stand out from a run this size.
What is the S nickel from 2007?
An S mint mark on a 2007 nickel means a collector coin from San Francisco — 3 proof and special-finish versions were sold in sets rather than released into circulation. The scarcest was struck in 895,628. They are not found in change.
Should I get my 2007 nickel graded?
Grading costs roughly $50–100 per coin. For this date the best certified grade guides at only $22 — well under the cost of grading, so keep it raw unless you suspect a genuine error.
