Description: 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023 (complete thru the third of four releases in 2023 for IN) Philadelphia Mint 20 Coin Innovation Dollar Set Up for sale is a complete set of 20 Innovation dollars to date from 2018 to 2023 from the Philadelphia mint. This set represents ALL of the Innovation dollar designs released by the US mint from 2018 through 2023 to date (set is complete through the third of the four Innovation designs for 2023, IN). In 2018 there was one introductory Innovation dollar coin released with regular circulation strike coins from the Philadelphia and the Denver mints. In 2019, there were 4 different Innovation Dollar designs released covering innovations from the states of DE, PA,NY & GA each with a regular circulation strike P coin which is part of this set. In 2020 the four Innovation Dollar designs released were for innovations in the states of CT, MA, MD & SC. The 2020 MA (Telephone Coin) and 2020 MD (Hubble Telescope Coin) are both very popular that are already hard to find and can cost $8/$5 each respectively because of the demand and lack of supply. As well the 2020 CT (Gerber Variable Scale) and 2020 SC (Septima Clark) are also harder to find but not quite as popular or expensive as the 2020 MA and 2020 MD coins. In 2021 four Innovation Dollar designs were released for NH, VA, NY & NC and in 2022 were four Innovation Dollar designs released for RI, VT, KY & TN. As of early 2023 the 2022 RI & VT designs are sold out at the US Mint and the KY designs limited suggesting that these coins might also see significant price appreciation as we saw with the 2020 designs that also sold out at the US Mint. I sell a lot of these sets (>500 of the P&D sets so far in the past year or so) as the coins are nice and the designs popular. In 2023 there will be four designs released. This listing includes a P coin for the first, second & third of the four designs in 2023 for OH, LA & IN. In total this set includes 20 "P" regular circulation strike coins. Note that NONE of these coins have been released into circulation and all have been sourced from US mint bags or rolls directly purchased from the US mint at a premium. All uncirculated coins are directly from freshly cracked US mint rolls/bags, handled with gloves and never circulated (though due to the minting process it is normal to have some scratches on the coins). This coin set includes all of the following interesting coins: 1) P mint business strike American Innovation Washington/First Patent dollar from 20182) P mint business strike of the 2019 American Innovation DE Classifying the Stars dollar 3) P mint business strike of the 2019 American Innovation PA Polio Vaccine 1953 dollar 4) P mint business strike of the 2019 American Innovation NJ Edison Light Bulb dollar 5) P mint business strike of the 2019 American Innovation GA Trustees' Garden dollar6) P mint business strike of the 2020 American Innovation CT Gerber Variable Scale dollar7) P mint business strike of the 2020 American Innovation MA Telephone dollar8) P mint business strike of the 2020 American Innovation MD Hubble Telescope dollar9) P mint business strike of the 2020 American Innovation SC Septima Poinsette Clark dollar10) P mint business strike of the 2021 American Innovation NH Player One dollar11) P mint business strike of the 2021 American Innovation VA Chesapeake Bay Bridge One dollar12) P mint business strike of the 2021 American Innovation NY Erie Canal One dollar13) P mint business strike of the 2021 American Innovation NC University of NC Chapel Hill dollar14) P mint business strike of the 2022 American Innovation RI Reliance Yacht dollar15) P mint business strike of the 2022 American Innovation VT Snowboarding dollar16) P mint business strike of the 2022 American Innovation KY Bluegrass dollar17) P mint business strike of the 2022 American Innovation TN TVA dollar18) P mint business strike of the 2023 American Innovation OH Underground Railroad dollar19) P mint business strike of the 2023 American Innovation LA Higgins Boat dollar20) P mint business strike of the 2023 American Innovation IN Automobile Industry dollar Note that the American Innovation Dollar series will continue with 4 designs a year for the coming years one design each one representing American Innovators from each state of the union and the six territories. In total the regular mint business strike issue design coins will total 57 coins by the time the series is complete. I will be listing yearly update sets at the end of each year to cover each year's new coinage. Below is the information from the mint on the Innovation series. Note that these coins do not circulate and can only be had by purchasing direct from the mint: The new American Innovation $1 Coin Program from the United States Mint symbolizes quintessentially American traits—the willingness to explore, to discover, and to create one’s own destiny.

The Trustees’ Garden is considered one of the first agriculture experimental gardens in America. The ten acres of land, located in Savannah, included plants from around the world so the colonists could determine the best crops for the Georgia climate. The Trustees’ Garden reflected the scientific and commercial aspirations of the trustees and their backers in England.The reverse depicts a hand planting seeds in the inscription “TRUSTEES’ GARDEN,” from which grows a variety of species representing the variety of plants grown in the garden: an orange tree seedling, sassafras, grapes, white mulberry, flax, peaches, olive, and a young shoot too small to be identified.
