Overview
- The United States Mint began sales of the 2026 Uncirculated Coin Set on Tuesday, June 30, with orders opening at 12 p.m. EDT and an initial per‑household limit of 10 sets for subscription and first‑24‑hour purchases.
- The set is capped at a total mintage of 300,000 units, is priced at $124.50, and contains two 10‑coin presentation cards with coins struck at Philadelphia and Denver plus a certificate of authenticity.
- Contents include five Semiquincentennial quarters (Mayflower Compact, Revolutionary War, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution, Gettysburg Address), the Emerging Liberty dime, the Enduring Liberty half dollar, a Native American dollar, a Jefferson nickel, and a Lincoln penny.
- Several designs are one‑year only: the Emerging Liberty dime returns Liberty to the obverse for the first time since 1945 and the Enduring Liberty half dollar replaces the Kennedy portrait for 2026.
- Separately, the Mint plans to randomly place 250,000 specially privy‑marked "July 4" quarters into general circulation rather than sell them directly to create a public treasure‑hunt and broaden engagement with the semiquincentennial program.
