One coin towers over the rest of the 2013 Presidential Dollar market. The Woodrow Wilson Position A graded MS68 brought $4,350 — roughly eight times the next highest sale. That’s the kind of gap you see when a coin is a true top-pop survivor.
The jump from MS67 to MS68 is where the real money lives. Below that, a handful of coins cluster in the $300–$500 range, and then values drop off a cliff. So the question for you is: chase the ultra-high grades, or pick up affordable pieces that still carry presidential history?
Denver mint Taft coins show surprising strength at the top end. Fewer pristine examples seem to have survived from the original mint bags. Philadelphia strikes tend to lag behind their Denver counterparts — possibly a strike quality difference, or maybe fewer collectors bothered to set them aside carefully.
2013 Presidential Dollar Value: Full History of the Series
The Presidential Dollar Coin Program came from the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-145, signed December 22, 2005 by President George W. Bush). Senator John E. Sununu introduced the legislation on May 17, 2005, backed by over 70 Senate cosponsors.
The series launched in 2007, honoring presidents in the order they served. Congress hoped to spark interest in dollar coins, teach younger Americans some presidential history, and generate collector revenue — riding the wave of the wildly popular 50 State Quarters Program that started in 1999.
By 2013, though, the program had taken a sharp turn.
In December 2011, the Secretary of the Treasury told the U.S. Mint to stop striking Presidential Dollars for circulation. The reason? A massive pile of $1 coins sitting unused in Federal Reserve vaults. Nobody was spending them.
That meant the 2013 releases — honoring William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Woodrow Wilson — were struck only in quantities to satisfy collector demand. These coins were never meant for your pocket change.
The 2013 $1 Uncirculated Set, with four coins from each of the Philadelphia and Denver Mints, went on sale March 7, 2013, priced at $16.95. A companion Presidential proof set from San Francisco launched on February 14, 2013, at $18.95.
That collector-only status changed everything about how these coins entered the market. It’s why they’re scarcer than the first years of the program.

2013 Presidential Dollar Value: Key Features You Need to Know
After the U.S. Mint halted circulation strikes due to massive Federal Reserve stockpiles, production shifted entirely to the collector market.
That made the 2013 releases — honoring William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Woodrow Wilson — scarcer than their predecessors. You couldn’t get these from a bank. They were only available through direct mint purchases.
The Obverse Of The 2013 Presidential Dollar
Here’s something cool about the 2013 set: four different U.S. Mint artists created the four portraits. Each one brought a distinct style to the coin.
Phebe Hemphill designed and sculpted the McKinley portrait. Joseph F. Menna both designed and sculpted Roosevelt. Barbara Fox (an Artistic Infusion Program Master Designer) created the Taft design, which Michael Gaudioso then sculpted. Don Everhart II both designed and sculpted Wilson. That artistic variety gives each coin its own personality.
Every obverse follows the standard Presidential Dollar layout with the president’s name arcing along the top rim. “IN GOD WE TRUST” appears directly on the face — a change made in 2009 after public outcry about it being hidden on the edge during the program’s first two years.
Below each portrait, you’ll find the presidential number and service years:
William McKinley: “WILLIAM MCKINLEY” curves above, with “25th PRESIDENT” and “1897-1901” positioned below
Theodore Roosevelt: “THEODORE ROOSEVELT” leads the inscription, followed by “26th PRESIDENT” and “1901-1909”
William Howard Taft: “WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT” appears at top, with “27th PRESIDENT” and “1909-1913” below
Woodrow Wilson: “WOODROW WILSON” anchors the upper rim, completed by “28th PRESIDENT” and “1913-1921”
The Reverse Of The 2013 Presidential Dollar
Flip it over and you’ll see Don Everhart’s Statue of Liberty design — a dramatic ground-level view with her torch arm dominating the foreground and her crowned head receding into the distance above.
Liberty sits off-center in the composition, framed by a subtle inner circle that separates her from “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” around the rim. The “$1” denomination tucks beneath her extended arm.
The off-center layout creates visual tension that pulls your eye upward along Liberty’s arm toward the flame. This same reverse was used across every Presidential Dollar in the entire series.
Other Features Of The 2013 Presidential Dollar
Specs are consistent across all four coins: 26.5 millimeters in diameter, 8.1 grams, struck in manganese brass — 88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese, and 2% nickel over a pure copper core. That gives you the golden look without any precious metal content. Melt value is basically nothing.
The edge carries incused (pressed-in) lettering: the year “2013,” mintmark (P, D, or S), “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and 13 five-pointed stars for the original colonies.
Edge inscriptions come in two orientations. Hold the coin with the president facing up — if the edge text reads upside-down, that’s Position A. If it reads normally, that’s Position B.
This happens because edge lettering gets applied in a separate step after striking, and the machine feeds coins randomly. Both positions are equally valid. Neither is an error.
2013 Presidential Dollar Value: How to Identify Your Coin
Your coin’s value comes down to three things: mint mark, edge inscription position, and grade.
Start with the edge. Look for a “P,” “D,” or “S” stamped between the other inscriptions — that tells you Philadelphia, Denver, or San Francisco. Next, hold the coin with the president’s face up. Edge text upside-down? Position A. Right-side-up? Position B. Then check the surfaces for scratches, luster, and strike sharpness.

Quick grading tip: PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) and NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) are the two most trusted third-party grading services. A raw coin that might be MS-66 could fetch around $2.40, but that same coin slabbed by PCGS or NGC can sell for $16.25 or more. The holder gives buyers confidence, and confidence means higher bids.
2013 Presidential Dollar Value Guides
The 2013 series was the first full year of collector-only production, featuring four presidents with significant value swings based on mint mark and position variety:
Most people don’t realize McKinley was the third U.S. president to be assassinated — shot on September 6, 1901, dying eight days later. He served as the 25th President (1897–1901), the last to have fought in the Civil War. His Vice President, Theodore Roosevelt, took over.
U.S. Mint Sculptor-Engraver Phebe Hemphill designed and sculpted the McKinley portrait entirely on her own. She also designed the companion Ida McKinley First Spouse Gold Coin that same year.
Combined mintage across Philadelphia and Denver totaled just 8,125,100 coins — 4,760,000 from Philadelphia and 3,365,100 from Denver. Compare that to the hundreds of millions struck during the program’s early circulation years. San Francisco added 1,488,798 proof specimens with the mirror fields and frosted devices that create the Deep Cameo (DCAM) contrast collectors love.
Watch for the Position A/B edge lettering difference here. The Denver Position B commands $8.40 in MS grade versus just $4.29 for Position A. Same coin, different edge orientation, nearly double the price.

Market Activity: 2013-P William McKinley Position A Presidential Dollar
Market activity score: 40/100 as of Oct 2026 — up 5 points from Jul 2026. Currently at its 12-month peak.
2013 Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Dollar Value
How many presidents can you name who are carved into Mount Rushmore, established 150 national forests, created 51 federal bird reserves, and set up five national parks? That’s Theodore Roosevelt — the 26th President, serving from 1901 to 1909.
Roosevelt leads the 2013 series in total production. Philadelphia struck 5,310,700 pieces while Denver produced 3,920,000. That gap pushes Denver Position B specimens to $5.82 in MS grade. San Francisco’s proof run of 1,503,943 coins commands $6.08 for Deep Cameo examples — second highest among all four 2013 Presidential Dollar proofs.
U.S. Mint Sculptor-Engraver Joseph F. Menna both designed and sculpted the portrait, capturing Roosevelt’s legendary energy. PCGS records show a 2013-P Roosevelt Position A MS68 sold for $350 on eBay on December 31, 2013, and a 2013-D Position A MS68 brought $310 on eBay on August 25, 2018. Even in this modern series, MS68 is where the premiums get serious.

Market Activity: 2013-S Theodore Roosevelt DCAM Presidential Dollar

2013 William Howard Taft Presidential Dollar Value
Taft holds a distinction nobody else in American history can match: he’s the only person to serve as both President (1909–1913) and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (1921–1930). He reportedly liked the Chief Justice gig a lot more.
The Taft portrait is the only 2013 Presidential Dollar made by a two-person team. U.S. Mint Artistic Infusion Program Master Designer Barbara Fox created the design, and U.S. Mint Medallic Sculptor Michael Gaudioso sculpted it.
Total mintage hit just 8,120,000 pieces — 4,760,000 from Philadelphia and 3,360,000 from Denver. That’s well below many earlier issues in the program. San Francisco’s proof mintage of 1,488,798 coins matches the McKinley proof run exactly.
I think the grading picture here is pretty straightforward. Most 2013-P Taft dollars land between MS64 and MS67. MS68 examples are very scarce, and nothing has been certified higher. Proofs typically come in at PR69 or PR70 Deep Cameo, with PR70 DCAM still affordable for most collectors. DCAM means frosted raised designs against deeply mirrored fields — the look you want on any proof coin.

2013 Woodrow Wilson Presidential Dollar Value
$4,350 for a modern dollar coin. That’s what the top Wilson brought, and it’s the highest auction price of any 2013 Presidential Dollar.
Woodrow Wilson served as the 28th President for two terms (1913–1921). His first term was packed with landmark legislation — the Federal Reserve, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Clayton Antitrust Act. His second term was consumed by World War I and his failed push for the League of Nations.
The Wilson dollar closes out the 2013 series. Philadelphia struck 4,620,000 coins and Denver struck 3,360,000, for a combined total of approximately 7.98 million business strikes. The portrait is unique because sculptor-engraver Don Everhart II both designed and sculpted it — the same artist behind the Statue of Liberty reverse used on every Presidential Dollar.
The auction records tell the story: that 2013-P Wilson Position A in PCGS Genuine MS68 sold for $4,350 via eBay on February 3, 2021. A 2013-P Position B in MS68 brought $212 on December 31, 2013, on eBay. A 2013-D Position A MS68 realized $295 on eBay on February 19, 2023.

Even though 2013 Presidential Dollars were struck exclusively for collectors, several confirmed minting errors exist. Knowing how to spot them can put real money in your pocket.
The most dramatic Presidential Dollar errors — like completely missing edge lettering — mostly show up on the first 15 coins in the series (Washington through Buchanan). By 2013, the Mint had tightened quality controls considerably. The errors that do exist for 2013 are subtler, but still real and still collectible.

This is the most common error type for 2013 Presidential Dollars. You’ll see incomplete or faint letter strikes on the edge — characters that look partial or washed out.
It happens when coins pass through the Schuler edge lettering machine without enough pressure. Worn edge segment dies, bad equipment settings, or slightly undersized planchets after the upsetting process can all cause it.
Here’s the key: these can look like missing edge lettering at first glance. Grab a loupe. If you see faint, partial letters rather than a completely smooth edge, it’s a weak strike — not a true missing edge lettering error. That distinction matters a lot for value.
Certified weak edge lettering examples for 2013 issues typically bring $50–$200, depending on which president and the coin’s grade. PCGS has certified this variety specifically for the McKinley issue.

2013 Weak Edge Lettering McKinley Presidential Dollar value by grade (updated Oct 7, 2026)
This one’s a cherrypicker’s dream. Doubled edge lettering happens when a coin goes through the edge lettering machine twice, leaving two overlapping sets of text.
Two sub-varieties exist: Overlap (both passes in the same direction, creating overlapping text) and Inverted (the coin flipped between passes, producing an upside-down duplicate inscription).
These are significantly rarer than weak edge errors for 2013 coins. Earlier series doubled edge lettering examples in MS65 have sold for over $1,000 at Heritage Auctions. If you think your 2013 coin has this error, get it slabbed by PCGS or NGC before trying to sell.
3. Die Crack and Struck-Through Errors
Die cracks show up as raised lines running across the coin’s surface — fractures in the striking die that transfer to the coin. Minor cracks add small premiums. Major cracks that cut through the design are worth more.
Struck-through errors happen when something — cloth, grease, debris — gets between the die and planchet during striking. You’ll see a weak or missing area in the design. Dramatic struck-through errors on earlier Presidential Dollars have sold for over $1,000 at GreatCollections. Confirmed 2013 examples start around $100, depending on how obvious and dramatic the error is.
Where To Sell Your 2013 Presidential Dollar?
Successfully selling your 2013 Presidential Dollar requires choosing the right venue based on your coin’s grade, rarity, and your timeline — balancing convenience against potential return.
1. Why can’t I find 2013 Presidential Dollars in my pocket change?
The Treasury suspended circulation production in late 2011 because over a billion dollar coins were sitting unused in Federal Reserve vaults. All 2013 issues were sold exclusively through the U.S. Mint as collector products. They never reached banks or cash registers.
2. What’s the difference between Position A and Position B on a 2013 Presidential Dollar?
Hold the coin with the president’s portrait facing up. If the edge text reads upside-down, it’s Position A. Right-side-up means Position B. Edge lettering gets applied in a separate random step after striking, so neither orientation is an error. Both are legitimate varieties, and Position B sometimes carries a modest premium at certain grades.
3. Which 2013 Presidential Dollar has the highest auction value?
The 2013-P Woodrow Wilson Position A in MS68 grade holds the record at $4,350, sold via eBay in February 2021. Denver mint coins in top grades (MS67–MS68) generally command higher premiums than Philadelphia strikes. The MS67-to-MS68 jump is enormous because so few coins survive in that flawless condition.
4. What does DCAM mean on a proof Presidential Dollar?
DCAM stands for Deep Cameo. PCGS uses this term for proof coins with strong contrast between frosted raised designs and mirror-like fields. NGC calls the same thing Ultra Cameo (UCAM). Both mean the most visually striking proof finish. For 2013-S proofs, DCAM/UCAM is the expected standard — a proof without that contrast would actually be worth less.
5. Is my 2013 Presidential Dollar made of silver or gold?
Nope. Despite the golden color, there’s zero precious metal in it. It’s manganese brass — 88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese, and 2% nickel over a pure copper core. Melt value is negligible. All the value comes from grade, variety, and rarity.
6. How do I tell if my 2013 Presidential Dollar has a weak edge lettering error?
Grab a 10x loupe and check the edge under good light. Normal coins have crisp, sharp letters. Weak edge lettering shows characters that are partially struck, faint, or incomplete — like the press lost pressure halfway through. A completely smooth, blank edge is a different and more valuable error (missing edge lettering). Certified weak edge McKinley examples typically sell for $50–$200.
7. Should I get my 2013 Presidential Dollar professionally graded?
Only if you think it’ll grade MS67 or higher, or if it has a documented error. Grading fees run $25–$50 per coin. For anything MS63 to MS66, the fee usually eats up any added value. But if your coin looks flawless under magnification — clean luster, no bag marks — a certified MS68 can be worth hundreds while the same coin raw might sell for a few bucks.
8. What were the total mintage figures for all 2013 Presidential Dollars?
McKinley: 4,760,000 (Philadelphia) + 3,365,100 (Denver) + 1,488,798 San Francisco proofs. Roosevelt: 5,310,700 (Philadelphia) + 3,920,000 (Denver) + 1,503,943 San Francisco proofs. Taft: 4,760,000 (Philadelphia) + 3,360,000 (Denver) + 1,488,798 San Francisco proofs. Wilson: 4,620,000 (Philadelphia) + 3,360,000 (Denver), with a similar San Francisco proof mintage. We’re talking dramatically lower numbers than the 100+ million coins struck annually in the program’s early circulation years.
9. Why do Denver mint 2013 Presidential Dollars often sell for more than Philadelphia coins in top grades?
Two reasons. Denver mintages are lower for most 2013 presidents. And more collectors seem to have bought Philadelphia products, meaning fewer Denver coins got carefully preserved from the start. The result is a lower survival rate in pristine MS67–MS68 condition for Denver issues, which pushes prices up at the top end.
10. Can I still buy a 2013 Presidential Dollar directly from the U.S. Mint?
No — they’ve been sold out for years. You’ll find individual coins, rolls, and certified examples on eBay, plus through established dealers and auction houses like Heritage Auctions, Stack’s Bowers, and GreatCollections. For certified high-grade pieces (MS67+, PR70 DCAM), I’d recommend buying from a reputable auction house for the best mix of authenticity and fair pricing.
