U.S. Mint Announces 2026 American Innovation Reverse Proof Set with Significant Price and Mintage Increases
The United States Mint is set to open orders for its 2026 American Innovation Reverse Proof Set on October 13, 2026, at noon Eastern Time. This four-coin set, priced at $60.00, features designs honoring Iowa (Dr. Norman Borlaug), Wisconsin (the Cray-1 supercomputer), California (Steve Jobs), and Minnesota (mobile refrigeration). The mintage limit for this set has been established at 99,792, with a household order limit of two sets. This represents a substantial increase in both price and mintage compared to the 2025 edition, which was priced at $32.25 and limited to 50,028 sets. The price hike reflects a general increase across the Mint's numismatic products in early 2026, with the annual Proof Set also seeing a significant jump from $40.25 to $107.00. Each coin in the set features a standard obverse with the Statue of Liberty and a privy mark incorporating a Liberty Bell with '250' to commemorate the nation's semiquincentennial.
