Washington — The United States Mint began accepting orders for the 2022 American Innovation $1 Coin Reverse Proof Set on November 14 at noon EST. The set is priced at $28.00 (product code 22GC).

The American Innovation $1 Coin Program is a multi-year series featuring distinctive reverse (tails) designs that pay homage to America’s ingenuity and celebrate the pioneering efforts of individuals or groups from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories. The 2022 coins celebrate and honor significant innovations from Rhode Island, Vermont, Kentucky, and Tennessee. All four coins are included in the 2022 American Innovation $1 Coin Reverse Proof Set.

These stunning Reverse Proof coins feature frosted backgrounds and brilliant, mirror-like finishes, creating a magnificent contrast. The four designs for 2022 were created by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) Designers and sculpted by United States Mint Medallic Artists.

Rhode Island — This design depicts Nathanael Herreshoff’s famous Reliance yacht at full speed in the waters surrounding Rhode Island. The design is bordered by a rope evoking the nautical scene. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “RHODE ISLAND.” AIP Designer Dennis Friel created the design, which was sculpted by Medallic Artist Phebe Hemphill.

Vermont — This design features a young snowboarder in the air performing a trick called a “melon grab,” set against a mountainous winter skyline inspired by the landscape of Vermont. The aim of the design is to capture a sense of the energy and exuberance of snowboarding through movement implied by diagonal lines and curved shapes. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “VERMONT.” AIP Designer Justin Kunz created the design, which was sculpted by Medallic Artist Craig Campbell.

Kentucky — This design features a banjo, an important bluegrass instrument, tilted to one side, alluding to the rhythm and movement of the music. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “BLUEGRASS,” and “KENTUCKY.” The design was created by AIP Designer Christina Hess and sculpted by Medallic Artist Renata Gordon.

Tennessee — This design depicts a Tennessee farm with newly installed power lines lining the road celebrating rural electrification. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY,” and “TENNESSEE.” The design was created by AIP Designer Matt Swaim and sculpted by United States Mint Chief Engraver Joseph Menna.

The obverse (heads) of all American Innovation $1 coins depicts a dramatic representation of the Statue of Liberty in profile with the inscriptions “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “$1.” The design also includes a privy mark of a stylized gear, representing industry and innovation, which changes with every year of the program. The inscriptions “2022,” the mint mark, and “E PLURIBUS UNUM” are incused on the edge of the coin. AIP Designer Justin Kunz created the design, which was sculpted by Medallic Artist Phebe Hemphill. All coins in the set were struck at the Mint’s San Francisco facility. A certificate of authenticity is included in every set.

    The 2/10 spread (2 year Treasury vs. 10 year Treasury) hit its HIGHEST inverse spread in 40 years Today.

    Currently the 2 year Treasury Yield is 4.454%
    Currently the 10 year Treasury Yield is 3.769%

    I sold More stocks today and bought More Treasuries …

    This was reveled Today in Federal Bankruptcy court for FTX by the New CEO of FTX, John Ray III…

    “Never in my career have I seen such a complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information as occurred here,” Ray wrote. “This situation is unprecedented.”

    This is coming from a man that was Once Chief Restructuring Officer and CEO of Enron…

    For those that Think the United States Mint’s Launch day lockouts could easily be solved for High Demand Products…

    Taylor Swift is canceling her “Eras Tour” ticket sale to the general public planned for Friday, according to people familiar with the matter.

    Ms. Swift’s 52-date stadium run sold over two million tickets on Tuesday—more than any other artist in a single day, according to the company. Tuesday’s presale was limited to a select group of people who had registered with Ticketmaster, part of an effort to ensure that actual fans, rather than scalpers, got first crack at tickets.

    Ticketmaster said it received 3.5 billion system requests on its site—four times its previous peak.

    Ticketmaster on Thursday said that even though the presale was only available to people who had been invited to participate, that didn’t prevent others, including bad actors, from attempting to get in. “The staggering number of bot attacks as well as fans who didn’t have invite codes drove unprecedented traffic on our site,” it said.

    Cag, I read that comment too. They can say all they want about FTX and how poorly it was run. Nothing will happen to Sam and company. it will be covered up. Sam is politically connected to our nations leadership. If they prosecute, he will squeal and open a huge can of worms our politicians don’t want revealed. Thus, this incident will be buried and any big fish who got burned will be paid off by the taxpayers so they don’t hunt down Sam and take revenge on him. If a third party does knock him off, it will be ruled a suicide anyway.
    Look up Credit Mobilier. More things change the more they stay the same.

    3.5 Billion hits, Venus would fly to Venus if that happened. It’s not only the lockouts Cag, bogus return policy, 4AM drops sucd up by insiders… instant CU’s to chum the water when the “CU” Item returns in a day or 2 FOMO use by the USM!!!
    ALthough the Mint may still have high demand item the subscriptions will kill that anyway. Congress has made a joke of Commems & the mint has made a joke of selling coins from 2018 or older….in 2o22!!

    Direct Bullion sales & a 1/2oth Z AU Eagle, say a Bust design, would be a hit!! No lets make 999,000 MorgaPeace$
    4% is good but $400+/- on $10k for year barely covers gas for a month

    Not good and appears more bad news coming out pertaining to the newest criminal on the block. FTX probably worse than Enron & Madoff & with a huge political scandal on the way no doubt. Not many here probably heard of or remember the King of Cons – Billie Sol Estes – ripping off the Federal Government for a couple hundred million 50 + years ago. Money never recovered. Years after he was released from prison I met him at a Texas coin show of all places sitting with a few dealers. Very odd & unsettling at the time. Never know who or WHAT you’ll run into while collecting coins.

    I hope someone at the mint is getting the idea from this blog that actual interest in mint products by the general public is approaching ZERO. When you’ve got a blog which used to have many many posters and lots of coin information and excitement, and there now are less than a couple dozen posters with minuscule numbers of coin posts, that should send a message that SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOUR BUSINESS MODEL!!!!!!!

  10. HarryB says

    @DaveSWFL: your “something is wrong” is spot on….. do hope the Mint is listening….. the only thing worse is NGC announcing a new Modern Grading scale available thru “select dealers”……. the Sheldon scale will be available also……comic book and coin collecting grading systems collide…. I could offer a number of colorful Southern colloquial expressions to more accurately convey my thoughts on a 1-10 grading scale currently used for comic books, but I will refrain at this time…

  11. Collector 10538 says

    I only check in to see if there’s any updates on the Morgan and Peace coins; that’s pretty much it.

  12. IJTR says

    Yes there are parallels as between Ticketmonster and the mints vendors. Both are parasitic and want to ignore the little guy. And conveniently (for them), they can deal with just a few big operators . The sole interest of these operators is to control the marketplace for huge markups, cheating and questionable tactics OK if it locks out the little guy.

    Fortunately for some of us, buying bullion, collectibles, or going to a concert are not matters of live and death. What happens if the entire food and energy sector ends up in the hands of the evil empire? [oops, it already is]!

    From ASPPA (American Society of Pension Professionals and Acutuaries):

    “Sen. Wyden Confident SECURE Act 2.0 Will Pass This Year”

    From excerpt: “Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), who is Chairman of the tax-writing Senate Committee on Finance and one of the key authors of the pending retirement legislation, reportedly predicted that an agreement will be reached between the House and Senate on a final retirement package and that it would be approved as part of a year-end budget deal.”
