Along with a $5 gold coin, the 2007 Jamestown Silver Dollar was issued to mark the 400th anniversary of the settlement at Jamestown, Virginia. Three ships, the Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery carried 105 settlers to the New World to establish the first permanent English settlement in what would become America.
The 400th anniversary of Jamestown had also been the subject of the Virginia State Quarter, released in 2000. The quarter also featured an image of the three ships that bought the settlers to Jamestown and carried the dual date of the anniversary.
The Jamestown Silver Dollars went on sale at the United States Mint on January 7, 2007. Individual proof and uncirculated versions of the coin were offered, with both produced at the Philadelphia Mint. Later in the year, the US Mint offered the 2007 American Legacy Set, which included a proof version of the Jamestown Silver Dollar.
