2020 S U.S. Mint American Innovation $1 Reverse Proof Coin™ – Maryland - Accompanied by Certificate of Authenticity Dollar US Mint OGP

The 2020 U.S. Mint American Innovation $1 Reverse Proof Coin celebrating the development of the Hubble Telescope depicts the telescope orbiting the Earth surrounded by a field of stars. The Hubble Space Telescope was the first major optical telescope to be used in space. First conceived in the 1940s, it was initially called the Large Space Telescope. In 1977, Congress approved its funding and NASA chose Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, to be the lead in scientific instrument design and ground control for the space observatory. The collectible coin’s remarkable design makes it a wonderful gift for the science and space enthusiasts in your life! The coin’s special reverse proof finish inverts the standard proof finish. Coins struck with this unique finish feature a frosted background and all other design elements, including text are polished to a mirror-like finish on both the obverse and reverse sides. Launched in 2018, the United States Mint’s American Innovation $1 Coin Program honors innovators and innovations from each state, the District of Columbia, and five U.S. territories—Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Northern Mariana Islands. The unique series offers dedicated and casual coin collectors another way to learn—and celebrate—America’s history. A great series to share with kids!
