Each 2007 Proof Set contained five State Quarters featuring Montana, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah. The four Presidential Dollars featured George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison. The remaining coins included the Sacagawea Dollar, Kennedy Half, Roosevelt Dime, Jefferson Nickel, and Lincoln Cent.
The US Mint expanded their annual proof set offerings to coincide with the release of the new Presidential Dollar series. They now offered the regular proof set, Presidential Dollar Proof Set, State Quarters Proof Set, Silver Proof Set, and Silver State Quarters Proof Set. The US Mint also offered the American Legacy Collection, which contained the coin of the standard proof set plus a proof commemorative silver dollar.

These two cardboard boxes were put into another white slipcase cardboard with the US Mint logo and contents denoted.
