2007 Montana Quarter Value and Errors

The Montana 2007 quarter is part of the 50 State Quarters series, one of the most widely produced and recognizable American quarter issues. Many collectors begin their acquaintance with this set with the western states.

Montana State Quarter Overview

Washington 50 States Quarters, 2007-D 25 cents Montana graded by PCGS MS67

The coin is dedicated to the state's symbolism. On the reverse, there’s a bison skull set against the Great Rocky Mountains, and this mix gives a clear sense of Montana’s landscape and cultural background.

The obverse shows George Washington. For this series, his portrait was adjusted a bit. The proportions became sharper, the relief stands out more, and the inscriptions “United States of America” and “Quarter Dollar” were made larger so they’re easier to read.

What is usually noted when examining the coin:

  • The depth of the bison skull lines;

  • The uniformity of the background behind the mountain range;

  • The quality of the rim finish;

  • The surface tone—it varies more noticeably on circulation issues.

The coin's value depends on its condition and release version. Circulated coins are the most affordable. Coins in MS condition typically increase in value with each price update on auction sites.

Approximate value by condition:

  • Circulated: $0.25–$1;

  • MS63: $3–$5;

  • MS65: $3–$5;

  • MS67: 15–$35;

  • MS68: $150–$300;

  • Proof S Cameo: $4–$7;

  • Proof S Deep Cameo: $60–$120.

MS68 grade coins are rare, and most examples in this class are sold through specialized auctions.

These grades generate sustained interest in all varieties of the series. Numismatists studying adjacent issues often compare their market trends with other coins of the era, such as the popular 2008 Oklahoma quarter.

Collectors of the series often ask: what is State quarter Montana? This helps them understand how rarity and value are structured within the series. Catalogs typically note that the 2007 issues do not rank among the rarest varieties, but they tend to hold their value well when found in high-grade condition.

Identifying Montana Quarter Errors

2007 P Montana Quarter Planchet Error

Encountering any 2007 Montana quarter error is rarer than those seeking unusual specimens would like, but some are known.

The main 2007 Montana quarter errors are:

  • Weak die strike—the relief is shallow, and individual lines of the bison skull are blurred;

  • Minor misalignment—part of the design shifts toward the rim, causing the rim to appear uneven;

  • Obverse and reverse rotation error (extremely rare)—the orientation of the sides is misaligned from the standard, which is especially noticeable when the coin is turned vertically;

  • Feeder damage—dents or uneven areas appear on the surface due to the blank entering the mechanism at an incorrect angle.

The 2007 P Montana quarter error is also considered a rare occurrence. These coins typically receive higher grades due to the rare combination of defects.
