2019-S American Innovation Dollar (Polio Vaccine 1953 - PA) PR70DCAM { PCGS-4 }. In 1947, the University of Pittsburgh hired Dr. Jonas Salk to develop a polio vaccine. At the time, polio was a devastating disease disproportionately affecting children and young adults, leaving many of them paralyzed.

After two years of clinical trials, the first of which were conducted in southwestern Pennsylvania, the vaccine was determined to be safe and effective. Its subsequent, widespread administration to millions of Americans effectively eliminated polio and helped usher in a new era of virology. This coin features nicely rendered devices whose heavy frosting is contrasted spectacularly against the ample mirrored fields.

1836 Gold $2.50 { PCGS-5 } {CAC} (Jan'2019) A thick, frosty mint luster glows with a strong vibrancy on both sides. The surfaces are richly toned with soft wheat-gold and delicate olive undertones that are totally original and offer a fresh 'old-gold' patina. The letters of "LIBERTY" on the hair ribbon are well-struck and distinct. The field behind and above the eagle is blemish-free. Prior to the Coronet Liberty U.S. gold coins contained just under 90% gold with a mixture of silver and copper at just over 10%, giving the coins a slightly less gold appearance than we are accustomed to seeing in the later issues. This well-struck Classic Design exudes bold definition on both sides yielding excellent eye appeal. Andrew Jackson was president in 1836 and decided not to seek a third term. During his presidency was the only time in US History that there was a time when there was no national debt; albeit a very brief time.

1857-S Gold $20 Liberty (Type 1) MS66 Ex: S.S. Central America { PCGS-SSCA } (Apr'2008) Variety 20-A, Spiked Shield. A superlative example of this renowned shipwreck issue with wonderful orange-gold coloration to complement its gorgeous luster and enormous eye appeal. Preserved over 130 years submerged 8,000 feet in the Atlantic Ocean, this piece appears as it left the mint in San Francisco, with smooth unmarred satiny surfaces and boldly rendered devices. Although sea water and wood can create an acid which will damage gold coins, the calcium rich deposits on the ocean floor of this wreck site neutralized the acid and protected these coins. This is the commoner spiked shield variety with its prominent raised die gouge on the reverse in the field to the left of the lower shield, and visible in the photo. Over 5,000 1857-S double eagles were aboard when the ship sank; while, about half that number have been graded by PCGS and attributed to this wreck.

1908 Gold $20 Saint-Gaudens MS68 Ex: Wells Fargo Nev Gold { PCGS-3 } (Nov'2008) This bold well-struck specimen features relatively mark-free surfaces. A rich orange-gold patina covers satin surfaces with frosty-perfect fields. It is assured a natural place in history being the last year any US Gold Coin did not bear the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST". (The 1909 Indian Head cent, Liberty Nickels until 1913 and Barber Dimes until 1916 were the holdouts in other metals.) Over Teddy Roosevelt's objections, Congress saw to it that the motto would be permanently restored, making it the law. Thanks to the cache of double eagles made available by the Wells Fargo discovery, a number of high grade examples became available to collectors and investors, of which this piece is a premium example. Liberty's hands and fingers, face, nose and lips and toes are well-defined and distinct. On the flip-side the sun is nearly unblemished and the eagle's feathers appear as the day they were struck.
