    Description

    This listing is for one (1) coin.
    The United States Mint American Innovation Coin Program is a multi-year series honoring innovation and innovators with coins from each State, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Northern Mariana Islands. The 2019 American Innovation Coins in the rolls and bags have uncirculated finishes and were minted at the Philadelphia and Denver Mints.
    The New Jersey coin is the third of four to be released this year. It features an electric light bulb, developed by Thomas Edison and his team of researchers in New Jersey. The advent of commercially manufactured light bulbs gave people easy control over light in homes and businesses, which drastically changed infrastructure, business, and society by allowing work and social activities to occur regardless of the time of day.  The reverse depicts an Edison bulb against an ornate background.
    The obverse design features a dramatic representation of the Statue of Liberty in profile with the inscriptions “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “.” The obverse also includes a privy mark of a stylized gear, representing industry and innovation.
    The edge-incused inscriptions are “2019,” the mint mark, and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
