An astronaut, symbolic of Native American astronauts, including John Herrington, spacewalks above. In the field behind, a group of stars indicates outer space. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “$1”. The obverse design (heads) retains the central figure Sacagawea carrying her infant son, Jean Baptiste. The inscriptions are “LIBERTY” and “IN GOD WE TRUST.”
- One Kennedy half dollar
- One Roosevelt dime
- One Jefferson nickel
- One Lincoln penny
The United States Mint strikes its uncirculated coins on dedicated presses that use greater force than those used to produce circulating coins. This technique results in a sharp, intricately detailed image. A blister secures the coins in a folder.
This year’s set includes an additional 2019 Lincoln penny with an uncirculated finish and a “W” mint mark. This special coin is packaged separately in clear United States Mint plastic wrap.
The 2019 United States Mint Uncirculated Coin Set is the third of three annual sets to include an additional, separately packaged premium penny from the West Point facility this year. The 2019 United States Mint Proof Set® comes with an additional premium penny in a proof finish, and the 2019 United States Mint Silver Proof Set® comes with an additional premium penny in a reverse proof finish.

About the U.S. Mint
The United States Mint was created by Congress in 1792 and became part of the Department of the Treasury in 1873. It is the Nation’s sole manufacturer of legal tender coinage and is responsible for producing circulating coinage for the Nation to conduct its trade and commerce.
The U.S. Mint also produces numismatic products, including proof, uncirculated, and commemorative coins; Congressional Gold Medals; and silver and gold bullion coins. The United States Mint’s numismatic programs are self-sustaining and operate at no cost to taxpayers.
