US EditionNew Coins Will Commemorate 250th Anniversary of American Independence. Here's How They'll Look
The U.S. Mint's new 2026 coins commemorate the 250th anniversary with historic American symbols and will be available in silver and 24k gold collector sets.
- On Wednesday, the U.S. Mint unveiled new semiquincentennial coin designs at the National Constitution Center on Independence Mall, announcing they will enter circulation next year with a dual date 1776 ~ 2026 and be produced at the Philadelphia Mint.
- The 1976 precedent shows the 1976 Bicentennial program included a colonial drummer boy quarter, a half-dollar with Independence Hall, a Liberty Bell dollar, and 1.76 billion Bicentennial quarters.
- Acting Mint Director Kristie McNally said the coins feature designs depicting America's journey toward a 'more perfect union,' including a dime with Lady Liberty, a half-dollar with the Statue of Liberty, and five quarters with historic reliefs.
- Collectors may set aside commemorative coins for their historical significance, but most retain only their face value 25 cents as collectors focus on rarity and condition.
- In 2026, the Mint will offer 40% silver collector sets and five 24k gold semiquincentennial coins available only in 2026, while the U.S. Mint since 1892 shows rarity can arise from limited sales and melted returns.
