Celebrate American ingenuity with the 2019-S American Innovation Series Delaware $1 Coin, graded PR69 First Strike by PCGS. This exquisite coin honors Annie Jump Cannon, a pioneering Delaware-born astronomer known for developing a system that classifies stars, a method still in use today. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin features a stunning reverse proof finish with frosted design elements set against a mirror-like background, creating a dramatic and visually striking contrast.

The reverse design showcases a silhouette of Annie Jump Cannon against a starry night sky, accompanied by inscriptions such as “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “ANNIE JUMP CANNON,” “CLASSIFYING THE STARS,” and “DELAWARE.” The obverse presents the iconic Statue of Liberty design used throughout the series, along with a stylized gear privy mark symbolizing industry and innovation. The coin’s edge includes incused inscriptions noting the year, mint mark, and motto.

With a limited mintage of just 75,000 pieces worldwide, this First Strike designation means the coin was among the earliest released and submitted for grading, ensuring sharper strikes and exceptional surfaces. Its PR69 grade attests to near-perfect condition, making this coin a prized addition for collectors seeking high-quality proof coins with significant historical and cultural relevance.

This coin is ideal for collectors of modern U.S. commemoratives, those passionate about innovation, or anyone who appreciates finely crafted numismatic art. It arrives encapsulated and certified by PCGS to protect its pristine condition and guarantee authenticity.
