Apparently, the US Mint has been producing a “Reverse Proof” series every year for the American Innovation Dollar. The mintages are fairly low. The 2023 set has a mintage of 55,000. That’s pretty low.

100% in agreement with you Cali on comment placement.

I’m still waiting to see if that item I bought 2.5 weeks ago shows up on the sales report. They obviously don’t cover all of the sales in the week they are made.

I agree with CaliSkier’s comment at the top of the comments; the space-themed dollars tend to sell out.

@ Tony@GA, They(GGC) are being shipped now. I received my 3 coin PF set on Saturday mid-day. USPS Priority Mail 2-Day delivery, I had to sign for it and it shipped from Irving, TX..Standard $5.95 USM shipping charge. I did order mine on day one, I don't know if that mattered or not.. I put the Unc Gold in my cart earlier today, and it showed BO status. Maybe they're minting to demand in smaller batches/runs..Unlike years past? If you ordered yours within week, I would think that it will show up soon.

In reply to E 1.

Dave,

Yes, its is like a booger hanging off the nose of the 4. I had also read that some had a slightly crooked “4” too. But, the “4” is the pick up point. There may have been some redesign activity going on with the 4 at that time. These were probably the first article strikes. One of the PCGS Certified SMS coins does have a normal 4. I did research on these a while back. Maybe more research is necessary. But, I could never afford this coin unless I find one in the wild. I am always looking though.

In reply to Dave SWFL.

Dave,

“Like a bugger dropping.” What….Hummm….interesting. Do you mean booger?

Here is a better explanation. The “4” in the date “1964” is crooked. Instead of being perpendicular to the radius of the coin like the “196,” it is perpendicular to the horizonal plane of the coin. It looks like someone tied a thread to the top apex of the “4” and let it hang or dangle naturally. That is where the term “Dangler” comes from. This is the key pick up point for the 1964 SMS Kennedy.

Cheers
