that is not a question, a good way to make it a question would be to add to the beginning of the question segment. this is how it would turn out: was George Washington on the 1789 coin? or, was there a coin made in 1789 with George Washington on it?
This is not actually a coin, but a medal. You could be sitting on $400 (give or take) if it's authentic (not a reproduction), and in good condition - and if you can locate the right interested buyer.
A number of experimental coins were struck during Washington's presidency but he refused to allow his picture to be used on official coinage because he felt it was too much like the British practice of putting the King's or Queen's portrait on coins.
More experimental coins were made during the late 19th and early 20th centuries but the first regular circulating coin to bear his portrait was the familiar quarter. It was introduced in 1932 as a circulating commemorative in honor of Washington's 200th birth anniversary. The design was discontinued during 1933 for several reasons, and the Mint intended to resume the Standing Liberty design in 1934. However the new Washington quarters were so popular that the design was permanently adopted instead.
It's just a dollar,has no gold in it and is still in circulation today. The date and mint mark is on the edge of the coin the years 1789-1797 refer to his presidential term in office. Only collectors coins sold by the mint have retail values above face value. And that's $1.25-$2.00 depending on grade.
If your coin is about the size of a quarter, golden in color, and has the Statue of Liberty on the other side it's not a commemorative coin. It's part of the current Presidential Dollar series of $1 coins made for circulation. If so, it has no extra value unless it's in uncirculated condition.
If it looks like a coin but has Washington's picture on both sides it's actually a promotional token given out by gas stations some years ago, and has no real special value.
It's from 2007, not 1789, and is only worth $1. 1789 is the year Washington took office.
As I'm sure you've heard, in 2007 the Mint started making brass $1 coins featuring portraits of all US presidents in their order of service. The Washington coin was of course the first, and it was minted in large numbers. You might still be able to get some from a larger bank, although the series is now up to Johnson, Grant, and Hayes.
It was made in 2007 (the date is on the edge) Value is a dollar and it's not gold. The color is from the brass it's made from.
