Commissioners reviewed reverse designs for the four American Innovation dollars scheduled to be released in 2028 and obverse and reverse designs for the 2027 issues in the Comic Art Coin and Medal Program.
Kagin-31 is a U.S. Mint-made proof-only striking of the 141-grain, 20-carat Augustus Bechtler obverse die, paired with the C. Bechtler RUTHERF: reverse die. It is generally referred to as a restrike, although the Bechtlers never struck any coins from this die pair, technically making the issue a fantasy piece. It is believed that a total of 15 were struck, with the finest being a gem proof.
