    The United States Mint American Innovation $1 Coin Program is a multi-year series to honor innovation and innovators by issuing $1 coins for each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the five U. S. territories – Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

    Four new $1 coins with distinctive reverse designs will be released each year from 2019 through 2032 in the order the states ratified the Constitution of the United States or were admitted to the Union. Once a coin is issued for each state, coins will be released for the District of Columbia and the territories.

    I am working on a $5 gold Indian year set (9 coins total) all in ms 62 condition or better. These Indians need to be flashy with clean fields, so I am being picky. I also just purchased my first MS Morgan dollar minted in Carson City, I will eventually try to get most if not all of the Morgan’s minted in Carson City, some of them will not be MS.

    I agree with you. And thank you if were referring to my exact coin and not just the grade. I don't think there's much value in the price jump from 65 to 66. PCGS Price Guide for the 1923 is $125 in 65 and $400 in 66. I got this one for $170 and it is so close to a 66 that I am very happy with it.

    My quarantine project has been to go through 25 years of accumulation and organize everything into 2x2 safety flips and boxes. I've ended up with an embarrassing number of duplicates for my main sets and through cherrypicking. Once I understand what I have the sell off can begin in earnest.
