Certificate of Authenticity

The United States Mint is pleased to present the 2007 American Legacy Collection. By combining brilliant proof versions of all United States circulating coinage with proof versions of the two commemorative silver dollars produced in 2007, this is the most complete annual collection of genuine United States Mint coins.

The undersigned hereby certifies that this proof set of 2007 United States coinage was produced by the United States Mint. The proof versions of each circulating coin bear the "S" mint mark of the United States Mint at San Francisco. The proof versions of the Jamestown 400th Anniversary Silver Dollar and the Little Rock Central High School Desegregation Silver Dollar carry the "P" mint mark of the United States Mint at Philadelphia. These commemorative coins were struck in accordance with legislation passed by Congress and signed by President George W. Bush.

The set includes $1 coins from the inaugural year of the Presidential $1 Coin series. These coins honor the Presidents in the order they served and feature edge-lettering. The $1 coins for 2007 feature George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. The 50 State Quarters® Program continues with the 2007 issues honoring Montana, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming and Utah.

United States Mint proof coins are produced from carefully selected coin blanks that have been burnished to a high luster, highly polished, and struck on specially adapted coining presses. Each coin is struck at least twice to bring forth the smallest detail with remarkable clarity.
