The U.S. Mint’s Third American Innovation™ Release for 2019

Americans love inventors and innovations that make life easier. From the cotton gin to automobiles to the internet, the spirit of American innovation has been a constant theme throughout our nation’s history. To celebrate the American spirit of innovation, the U.S. Mint kicked off a brand-new one-dollar coin series that has captured the fancy of coin collectors everywhere!

The series was launched in 2018 with a single coin paying tribute to the first U.S. patent. Beginning in 2019, four one-year-only Innovation Dollars were released each year bearing different reverses. The coins in the multi-year series will be designed and minted to honor significant American innovation and pioneering efforts of individuals or groups in each of the 50 States, District of Columbia, and U.S. territories. It will conclude in 2032.

Here’s your chance to get the third coin of 2019, the New Jersey Dollar. This stunning coin celebrates the development of the electric light bulb in fabulous Reverse Proof condition!

Each coin will also come shipped in its original government packaging consisting of a colorful four-panel packet that includes the coin’s Certificate of Authenticity.

The reverse design features an Edison light bulb depicted in front of an ornately designed background. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” and “NEW JERSEY.” The New Jersey coin pays tribute to the development of the electric light bulb by famed inventor Thomas Edison and his team of researchers at his laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey. The coin’s obverse features a common design that will be used throughout the series. It depicts the Statue of Liberty along with a small privy mark of a stylized gear, representing industry and innovation. In addition, like the other coins issued in 2019, the New Jersey Dollar features the incused edge inscriptions: “2019,” “S” mint mark, and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
