What is a 2024-P Missouri: George Washington Carver Innovation Dollar worth?
Collectors pay a real premium for this date, worn or not, because far fewer were made than usual. Uncirculated pieces go much higher.
What would make yours worth more:
- Uncirculated condition with full original luster
- A die variety or minting error
- Certification by PCGS or NGC, which buyers expect for scarce dates
For market prices, check recent sold results for certified coins in the same grade.
Quick answers
- Is the 2024-P Missouri: George Washington Carver Innovation Dollar rare?
- Somewhat. 524,325 were made, fewer than most dates, so collectors treat it as a semi-key.
- Is the 2024-P Missouri: George Washington Carver Innovation Dollar silver?
- No. It's manganese brass (88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese, 2% nickel). Circulating silver dollars ended with the 1935 Peace dollar. Some Eisenhower dollars with an S mint mark were made in 40% silver for collectors, but circulation Ike dollars are copper-nickel clad.
- Where is the mint mark on a 2024 American Innovation Dollar?
- On the edge, incused with the date. On this coin the mark is P, for Philadelphia.
- How many 2024-P Missouri: George Washington Carver Innovation Dollar coins were made?
- 524,325.
What to check on your 2024-P
- Make sure the mint mark really is a P. A worn or filled mark can be misread. It's what separates your coin from the 2024-D (449,975 made).
- Proof or circulation strike? A proof has mirror-like fields and frosted design details and was sold to collectors, not released in change. The 2024-S Missouri: George Washington Carver Innovation Dollar Proof (66,047 made) is the one to compare with.
- Judge the grade under good light. These are sold in rolls, bags and sets, so most survive uncirculated. Value depends on luster and freedom from marks.
The story of the 2024-P Missouri: George Washington Carver
Philadelphia made 524,325 of the Missouri: George Washington Carver innovation dollar. Among the 4 designs of 2024 it was the second largest Philadelphia run, between Maine: DC Defibrillator (512,025) and Alabama: Saturn V Rocket (524,750).
Denver struck a similar number of the same design (449,975), so neither mint's version is much harder to find.
Across the whole program it sits 21st of 29 Philadelphia designs by mintage, where the scarcest is Mississippi: First human lung transplant at 399,275.
How to recognize it
The Missouri: George Washington Carver design
George Washington Carver, born into slavery near Diamond, Missouri, in the 1860s, is honored on Missouri's 2024 coin. As a scientist at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, he promoted crop rotation and alternative crops such as peanuts, sweet potatoes and soybeans to help Southern farmers renew soil exhausted by cotton. He also developed many products from these crops. The reverse shows Carver smiling as he examines a sample in his laboratory, with peanut leaves, blossoms and fruit woven among the equipment. Eric David Custer designed and sculpted it.
The American Innovation Dollar design
The obverse shows the Statue of Liberty in profile with IN GOD WE TRUST and $1. Each reverse honors an innovation or innovator from one state or territory, issued in the order the states joined the Union. The date, mint mark and E PLURIBUS UNUM are lettered on the edge, which is where to look for the mint mark.
