The Artistry Behind the Coins
Obverse (All Coins): Each coin features a dramatic profile representation of the Statue of Liberty, symbolizing American freedom and the spirit of innovation. The inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "$1" frame this iconic image. The year "2019," mint mark (P or D), and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" are incused on the edge of each coin.
Delaware Reverse: A silhouette of Annie Jump Cannon stands against the night sky, surrounded by a field of stars she dedicated her life to classifying. This Delaware-born astronomer invented a stellar classification system still used by astronomers worldwide today. Her pioneering work catalogued hundreds of thousands of stars, advancing our understanding of the universe. Inscriptions read "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "ANNIE JUMP CANNON," "CLASSIFYING THE STARS," and "DELAWARE."
Pennsylvania Reverse: The design honors Dr. Jonas Salk and his team at the University of Pittsburgh for developing the polio vaccine in the early 1950s. This medical breakthrough saved countless lives and virtually eliminated a devastating disease that had paralyzed thousands of children and young adults. The imagery celebrates one of the 20th century's greatest public health achievements. Inscriptions include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "PENNSYLVANIA."
New Jersey Reverse: An electric light bulb illuminates the design, representing Thomas Edison's revolutionary invention developed with his research team in New Jersey. The advent of commercially manufactured light bulbs transformed society, allowing work and social activities to continue regardless of the time of day. This innovation fundamentally changed infrastructure, business, and daily life across America and the world. Inscriptions read "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "NEW JERSEY."
Georgia Reverse: The design features the Trustees' Garden, established by James Oglethorpe in Savannah in 1734. This ten-acre experimental garden is considered one of America's first agricultural research facilities, where colonists tested plants from around the world to determine the best crops for Georgia's climate. The garden reflected the scientific and commercial aspirations of the colony's founders and laid the groundwork for American agricultural innovation. Inscriptions include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "GEORGIA."
Why Collectors Choose This Set
The 2019 American Innovation 8-Coin Set offers exceptional value for collectors building the complete series.

For numismatists, having both P and D mint marks allows you to study the subtle production differences between the Philadelphia and Denver facilities. The Brilliant Uncirculated finish ensures these coins maintain their original mint luster, while the varied reverse designs make this set visually dynamic and historically educational.
