Rare Coins "American Innovations"

Buying whole bags or rolls is not the best idea I think. What to do with the rest of the coins ? I don't think selling them will be a quick thing, considering that I'm not a big dealer and I'm not a dealer at all (no matter how much I would like to become one).

You can buy the proofs and additionally reverse proofs if you want the best look of the designs as well as these most recent proofs tend not to have drastic differences in quality. The discussion is really whether you wish to also get the uncirculated for collecting, and if so most will be perfectly happy with the ones sold by dealers or online sellers whether sold individually or as year sets. Its just that quality has certainly been variable and so they may not appeal as much to those seeking out top quality examples. You may just pay a premium on certain coins by buying them later after the mint no longer has stock. Thats where some might like to buy rolls or bags themselves (or cherry pick) and then resell or spend the ones they cant resell.

I, myself buy an 'annual set' from ebay sellers to get my P and D coins, the proofs and reverse proof are directly from the mint.

I think buying TPG coins is the best idea. Buying such coins will cost about $ 40, unprocessed coins are not much cheaper. But I didn't plan to invest a lot of money in this series. Some coins from the series are not on the Russian market at all. We'll have to look for them. I think I won't buy expensive no graded coins for my set yet and will buy them later. Maybe I can find them cheaper later.

The forum it was forwarded to is the one it is currently in where you are reading it! That is: US Commemoratives and Non-Circulating Coinage (NCLT) Including Grading, Varieties, and Errors

It was moved from: US Modern Coins

The American Innovation Dollars are NCLT, which is why it was moved.

They way proof coins are made and handled, PR69 is expected, PR70 is a not uncommon bonus. However, these business strikes are not given anywhere near the same care, so they are going to grade lower.

After looking at PCGS population reports, I can believe sellers are asking that much for MS67...

Nor would I, even if I were collecting business strike Innovation Dollars, which I am not. Like most of my baby dollars, proofs only.

The telephone Massachusetts 2020 innovation dollar was created by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program Designer Emily Damstra as well as she created the Maya Angelou and Anna May Wong reverses on the quarters, the new american silver eagle 2021 reverse and others. This list is a bit more updated than the one here on coincommunity. https://www.usmint.gov/learn/artist...mily-damstra

Again for designs you can just go with the proofs (and even reverse proofs if you like those) without breaking the bank. Its only those uncirculated versions that are going to vary widely based on whether your attempting to get pre graded top or high grades like the MS67 you are discussing, buy rolls or such and attempt to find nice examples yourself which may be hard and not cheap if most are poor quality having to go through more than usual, or just being happy with a typical example that may have some dings but likely wont greatly increase in value over time in which case I wonder why lower grade ones are bought as the proofs are available in that case. Maybe they just want an example to collect of every type but dont want to spend money it takes for a nice example since they can be harder to find in this specific case due to the varying quality.
