First 3 American Innovation Reverse Proof FIRST DAY OF RELEASE 3-Coin NGC 70

First Three Reverse Proof American Innovation Coins - 2018 Inaugural, 2019 Delaware, and 2019 Pennsylvania

These are the first three San Francisco Mint American Innovation Dollars in reverse proof finish.  The 2018 Inaugural, 2019 Delaware and 2019 Pennsylvania coins are graded Reverse PF70 by NGC.  The Delaware and Pennsylvania coins are NGC certified with the exclusive First Day of Release designation and the American Innovation Gears label. The Inaugural coin is NGC certified First Day designation from the American Numismatic Association (Chicago's World's Fair of Money) and the American Innovation Gears label. This is the debut coin set and there is no better way to start it. It has the same qualifications as First Day of Issue but is even rarer. 

IMPORTANCE

These are the first three reverse proof finished coins for the American Innovation Series.  The reverse proof coins have a limited mintage of 75,000 coins.  The obverse design features a dramatic representation of the Statue of Liberty in profile with the inscriptions “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “$1.” The 2019 coin designs also includes a privy mark of a stylized gear, representing industry and innovation, the 2018 does not include it, thus photos of the obverse of both year coins.

The edge-incused inscriptions are the year minted, “S” mint mark, and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”

MIKE’S TAKE:

These coins each have a limited mintage of 75,000 coins and are in perfect condition.  The 2019 designs are only the second coins with privy mark (2009 Platinum coin had an eagle privy mark).  None of the coins in this series are being released into circulation making this one of the most limited series in US Mint history.
