The Artistry Behind the Coins

Obverse (All Coins): Each coin features a dramatic profile representation of the Statue of Liberty, symbolizing American freedom and the spirit of innovation. The inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "$1" frame this iconic image, while a stylized gear privy mark represents industry and innovation. The year "2021," mint mark (P or D), and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" are incused on the edge of each coin.

Virginia Reverse: An ingenious cross-section cutaway view reveals the engineering marvel of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, one of the Seven Engineering Wonders of the Modern World. The design illustrates the remarkable ingenuity required to construct this 17.6-mile span combining bridges, tunnels, and artificial islands across the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. Inscriptions read "VIRGINIA" and "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."

New Hampshire Reverse: Ralph Baer's revolutionary "brown box" game console comes to life with a depiction of the "Handball" game on the right side. The left features "NEW HAMPSHIRE" and "PLAYER 1" on an incused background reminiscent of early video game screens. The inscriptions "IN-HOME VIDEO GAME SYSTEM" and "RALPH BAER" encircle the coin in text paying homage to Baer's Odyssey gaming system, while the overall design evokes a nostalgic arcade token. This celebrates the birth of home video gaming. Additional inscription: "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."

New York Reverse: The design honors the Erie Canal, the 363-mile engineering marvel completed in 1825 that connected Lake Erie to the Hudson River. This man-made waterway unlocked the western interior for trade and settlement, transforming New York into the Empire State and playing a critical role in America's westward expansion and economic development. The imagery captures the canal's historic significance as a gateway to opportunity. Inscriptions include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "NEW YORK."

North Carolina Reverse: A stack of three textbooks symbolizes higher education, with "FIRST PUBLIC UNIVERSITY" inscribed on the spine of the middle volume. A lamp of knowledge sits atop the books, representing enlightenment and learning, while olive branches curve gracefully around the design's edge, symbolizing peace and wisdom. This design celebrates the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, chartered in 1789 as America's first public university. Inscriptions read "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "NORTH CAROLINA."

Why Collectors Choose This Set
