A 2022-P Rhode Island Innovation Dollar roll in a U.S. Mint sealed box is a collectible item from the American Innovation $1 Coin Program, a multi-year series by the United States Mint honoring innovation and innovators from each state, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories. This particular roll contains 25 uncirculated $1 coins minted at the Denver Mint, denoted by the "P" mint mark. The coins are housed in a paper roll and packaged in an official U.S. Mint sealed box, typically labeled with the product code "22GRA" and details such as the year, mint mark, and state.
The Rhode Island coin, the first of four released in 2022, celebrates naval architect Nathanael Herreshoff’s Reliance yacht, renowned for its technical innovations when built in 1891. The reverse (tails) design features the yacht at full speed in the waters surrounding Rhode Island, bordered by a nautical rope, with inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "RHODE ISLAND." The obverse (heads) showcases a profile of the Statue of Liberty, along with the inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "$1," and includes a privy mark of a stylized gear symbolizing industry and innovation. The edge of each coin bears the incused inscriptions "2022," the "P" mint mark, and "E PLURIBUS UNUM."
When offered for sale, such as on platforms like eBay or through coin dealers, the roll remains unopened in its original U.S. Mint packaging, ensuring the coins are in pristine, uncirculated condition. Originally sold by the Mint for $34.50, these rolls can vary in price on the secondary market as high as $100 depending on demand, availability, and collector interest. The sealed box preserves the integrity of the coins, making it a sought-after item for numismatists interested in the American Innovation series or Rhode Island history.
