Values
An American Innovation dollar’s market depends on the reverse and on the fact that most of them never saw a cash register. This page is a series reference, not a price list.
The mintage chart leaves G, VF, and MS-63 empty. The NGC US Coin Price Guide extract on file, retrieved 2026-08-21, does not include these rows. Do not turn a Wikipedia mintage into an offer.
If you inherited a roll, leave the roll closed until you know which reverse it is. How to sell a coin collection is the longer conversation.
Key Dates
This page will not bold a row. A short bag-and-roll mintage is the program, not a key list. No publisher key list was copied here.
Errors
The privy mark under IN GOD WE TRUST, added in 2019, is the design for that year. It is not an error. Proofs and reverse proofs are not circulation rows.
Compare a coin to the NGC Coin Explorer American Innovation page. We do not host their plates.
Varieties
Each year and each state has its own reverse. Edge lettering carries the date and the mint. This page does not list every reverse as a die variety, and it does not invent a missing-edge count.
Names follow PCGS CoinFacts and NGC, the same publishers this site already cites. This is a name list, not a price list and not a count.
Mintage
Philadelphia and Denver bag-and-roll strikes only.

The figures are the Philadelphia and Denver columns on the Wikipedia American Innovation table, retrieved 2026-10-06. San Francisco proofs and reverse proofs stay off. 2026 and later designs had no count in that table, so they are not rows. This is not the Presidential dollar.
Read the edge for the date and the mint. Then read the reverse for the jurisdiction.
Specifications
These are mint specs, not what a dealer pays. Wear can take a little weight off. We will not invent a tolerance. Proofs are not this chart.
| Specification | Figure |
|---|---|
| Diameter | 26.49 mm |
| Thickness | 2 mm |
| Weight | 8.1 g |
| Composition | manganese-brass clad copper |
| Edge | Lettered |
| Designer | Justin Kunz obverse; changing reverse designers |
Thickness 2 mm, weight 8.1 g, diameter 26.49 mm, and manganese-brass clad copper are the Numista 2018 introductory type-page figures (N#154802). The date, mint mark, and motto are on the edge. Presidential dollars and Native American dollars are not this series.
Grading
An American Innovation dollar wears first on Liberty’s face and on the device on the reverse. The date is on the edge. A missing date on the face is the design.
These were bag and roll coins. A scuff from a bag is a bag mark, not pocket wear you should scrub.
Key Diagnostic Areas
| Area | What to examine | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Liberty’s face | The cheek, the crown, and the torch arm. | Those high points flatten first. Read them before you blame the reverse. |
| The reverse device | The innovation scene and the jurisdiction name. | The name is how you tell Delaware from Texas. Wear on the device is the grade. |
| Edge | The date, the mint mark, and E PLURIBUS UNUM. | Weak edge lettering is a strike. Do not recut it. |
| Fields | Hits and hairlines in the open fields. | On mint-state coins, marks and luster decide the number. |

What each named grade looks like on this design.
Poor
Poor
A disk you can still call a American Innovation dollar if you already know the type.
- Liberty’s face and the reverse device are gone.
- The date may be a shadow. Do not scrape it.
- Shine does not make this a better coin.
AG
About Good
You might read a digit. The high points on this American Innovation dollar are already slick.
- Liberty’s face and the reverse device are worn to a blank patch.
- If you cannot read the date without hoping, stay here.
- A 2018-P is still this grade if it is this worn.
Good
Good
The date is readable. The design is still mostly an outline.
- Liberty’s face and the reverse device are flat. The type is an outline, not a portrait.
- The rim should be full enough to hold the legend.
- This is a worn coin, not a details story.
VG
Very Good
The date is clear. A little life returns away from the high points.
- Some leftover detail sits away from liberty’s face and the reverse device.
- The high points are still tired.
- Do not clean the date to “see it better.”
Fine
Fine
You can follow the design. The high points are outlined, not sharp.
- Liberty’s face and the reverse device are outlined and flat — no real sharpness yet.
- The rest of the coin can look busier than the grade.
- The date should be clear. The mint mark should be too, if there is one.
VF
Very Fine
The type is doing real work. Liberty’s face and the reverse device still decide.
- Leftover detail sits on liberty’s face and the reverse device. The centers are still the worn spot.
- Marks do not raise the grade.
- A regular 2018-P is still this grade if it is this worn.
EF
Extremely Fine
Most of the coin looks sharp. The high points tell on it.
- Light wear on liberty’s face and the reverse device.
- The rest of the coin can look better than the grade. Trust the high points.
- The date should be sharp.
AU
About Uncirculated
Almost no wear — and “almost” lives on the same high points.
- A trace of rub on liberty’s face and the reverse device.
- Luster may still sit in the fields. Rub on those high points is still rub.
- A bright coin with a slick high point is still slick.
Basal MS
Mint State
No wear. The fight is marks and luster, not how white the coin looks.
- No rub on liberty’s face and the reverse device.
- Marks and luster decide how this mint-state coin lives.
- A bright chewed-up coin is still chewed-up.
Choice
Choice Mint State
Still no wear. Cleaner fields than basal mint state.
- Same no-wear rule on liberty’s face and the reverse device.
- Fewer marks in the fields. Luster is more intact.
- White is not a grade.
Gem
Gem Mint State
A clean American Innovation dollar for this type. Still mint state, still not a story.
- No wear on liberty’s face and the reverse device.
- Marks and luster, not a romance about a date or a white field.
- A slab is an opinion in plastic. The glossary has the numbers.
San Francisco proofs and reverse proofs exist. This page does not invent a PR price grid. The proof numbers live on the glossary.
Copper color designations do not apply to this manganese-brass dollar. See the Lincoln Wheat cent and the glossary.
Overview
American Innovation dollars are the 2018–2032 program with the Statue of Liberty on the front and a state or territory innovation on the back. Justin Kunz designed the obverse. 2018 is a single introductory reverse, the first patent. From 2019 the Mint issues four jurisdictions a year. The coins were sold in bags and rolls, not dumped into change.
They are not Presidential dollars. The Liberty portrait sits on the opposite side.
This page is a series article, not a shop listing.
History
The program launched on December 14, 2018. Wikipedia’s table prints Philadelphia and Denver counts through the 2025 issues. The later years are scheduled and had no mintage in that table on the day this page was written. Those years stay off the chart.
Design
Obverse: the Statue of Liberty, IN GOD WE TRUST, and a privy mark from 2019 on. Reverse: the year’s innovation, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and the denomination. The date, the mint mark, and E PLURIBUS UNUM are on the edge.
Look at Liberty’s face and at the device on the reverse. Edge lettering that is weak is a strike, not a missing date you should recut.
People Also Ask
Do American Innovation dollars circulate?
The Mint sold them in bags and rolls. They were not shipped for ordinary pocket change. Philadelphia and Denver business strikes are on this chart. San Francisco proofs stay off.
What years have mintage rows?
2018 through 2025. 2018 is the introductory patent design. From 2019 the program issues four jurisdictions a year. 2026 and later rows stay off until a full count is printed.
How much is an American Innovation dollar worth?
It depends on the reverse and whether you are holding a bag coin or a proof. This page does not print a guide price. Face value is not a bid, and a catalog story is not one either.
Is this a Presidential dollar?
No. The Presidential dollar puts a president on the front and the Statue of Liberty on the back. This series puts the Statue of Liberty on the front and an innovation on the back. The date is on the edge of both.
Collector Considerations
Buy the reverse you can name. A roll of 2018 introductory dollars is a different coin from a 2025 Texas roll. Do not mix them because both say dollar.
There is no legal type photograph on this page yet. The placeholder is intentional.
If the goal is a sale, the coin dealer directory starts in Ohio. This site does not invent a shop for a dollar program.
For the president series that uses the same size planchet, read the Presidential dollar. For the Native American reverse on the Sacagawea obverse, read the Native American dollar.
A Final Word
American Innovation dollars reward an edge check and a reverse check. The date is not on the face.
