Description

Part of the American Innovation Dollars 2018 to Date series, the 2023 (D) American Innovation Dollar - Louisiana, Position B is a dollar from the Denver Mint. The U.S. Mint struck 430,625 Louisiana dollars at Denver in all, with Position A and Position B edges counted together; how the total divides between the two is not recorded. The obverse features a profile of the Statue of Liberty with a small stylized gear privy mark, and the reverses honor innovations and innovators from each state, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories. This coin honors the Higgins Boat (LCVP) designed by New Orleans industrialist Andrew Higgins, whose landing craft enabled amphibious invasions across World War II — a vessel Eisenhower credited as one of the tools that won the war. The Denver Mint, which grew from an 1860s gold rush assay office, has served as a major production facility since 1906. Struck in 88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese and 2% nickel, weighing 8.1 grams, 26.49 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Cataloged as PCGS #916324.
