Gardens at Bayonne is proud to support the Stories from the Journey project, from Never Remove the Cornerstone author, Byron Coleman, also an instructor with the Discover Your Roots Free Family Research Seminar (https://discoveryourrootsga.org/), with this great fundraiser program with the limited offer of The 2024 American Innovation® $1 Coin offer.  

Gardens at Bayonne, makes this uncirculated, proof finish, coin minted in Philadelphia and Denver available to you, featuring a beautiful depiction of George Washington Carver and his laboratory equipment, peanut leaves, blossoms, and fruit, and the State of Missouri (the 25th state or territory to showcase an innovation, innovator, or group of innovators), and while the obverse features the Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World), with these (uncirculated) issues bearing, either the "P" or "D" mint mark, signifying its mintage at the Philadelphia Mint or Denver Mint, respectively. 


George Washington Carver was born into slavery in Diamond, Missouri. He went on to become the agricultural scientist who helped save the South’s agrarian economy. Following the abolition of slavery, many formerly enslaved people became small-scale farmers, but struggled to thrive on nutrient-depleted land due to single-crop overuse. Dr. Carver knew that his lessons on crop rotation and practical farming methods could help if they could reach farmers outside of his classrooms at Tuskegee University.
As a bonus, for a limited time, each coin will be included with a custom-designed George Washington Carver postage stamp bookmark, with a brief history of Dr. Carver and an enlarged image of the 32-cent stamp, issued in 1998, on one side.  The reverse side of the bookmark includes the words to a song, penned by Stevie Wonder in 1979, entitled “The Same Old Story,” and an enlarged image of a 1948 issue, 3-cent postage stamp, featuring a rose-magenta, toned engraving of Dr. Carver.
*Limited coins available at the price of only $10.00, plus shipping and handling, at:
