Description

The 2024 (D) American Innovation Dollar - Maine, Position B was struck at the Denver Mint as a dollar in the American Innovation Dollars 2018 to Date series. The U.S. Mint produced 421,000 examples, making this the lowest mintage among 16 mint variants, representing only 5% of total production. The obverse features the Statue of Liberty with a geared background representing innovation and the reverse displays rotating designs honoring innovations and innovators from each state and territory. This coin honors Dr. Bernard Lown, a Lewiston-based cardiologist who developed the direct current defibrillator in 1962 to correct fatal heart rhythms and chose not to patent it so millions worldwide could benefit. Maine (personal computer accessibility), Louisiana (jazz music), Alabama (the Saturn V rocket — powering the Apollo moon missions), and Alaska (the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System). Coined at Denver's facility, which transitioned from processing Colorado gold rush metal to full-scale coin production in 1906. Estimated market value ranges from $1 to $6 depending on grade and condition. 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 #948549.
