2019-D Lowell

Denver's 2019 Lowell issue came in at 147,400,000 pieces, slightly higher than the Philadelphia figure and a representative D-mint number for the 2019 production year. Joel Iskowitz's reverse shows a young woman operating a power loom, drawing on Lowell's identity as the textile-mill town that anchored the American Industrial Revolution along the Merrimack River. The composition is dense with mechanical detail: the loom frame, the warp threads, the worker's hands and posture, and the bobbin position all share planchet real estate. D-mint examples render the mechanical elements with slightly fuller relief than Philadelphia, an artifact of die preparation that recurs across the 2019 cycle. The D mintmark sits in the standard ATB position, just right of the Washington portrait's queue.

Strike characteristics on the 2019-D follow the same hierarchy as Philadelphia, with the loom's cloth weave going first as dies wear, then the worker's hand detail, then the bobbin. MS66 examples require a readable loom frame and partial hand definition; MS67 coins add full finger detail and crisp warp-thread texture. The 2019-W issue for the same design, the historic first West Point circulating release at 2 million pieces, sits in its own catalog tier and is not included in this listing's classification. PCGS, the Professional Coin Grading Service, and NGC handle the slabbed market for the standard 2019-D production. The clad composition is the standard ATB recipe at 75% copper-nickel over a pure copper core, 5.67 grams on a 24.26 mm reeded planchet.

The 2019-D Lowell is a Regular classification entry, common raw and through MS66 and behaving as a condition rarity at MS68 because the dense relief penalizes die wear. Population reports show the D-mint slightly more available at MS67 than the Philadelphia counterpart, the late-series pattern that tracks D-mint production volume. Registry collectors building the 56-coin clad set pair the P and D 2019 Lowell as a single tier and pay close to the same premium for each.
