The United States Mint will finally release the 2026 Clad Proof Set in Original Government Packaging tomorrow beginning at 12pm EST. The 10-coin set will retail for $107. .
Commemorating the Semiquincentennial of the birth of our nation, all 10 coins will bear the ‘S’ mint mark as they were struck at San Francisco. Featured in a Proof quality, the one-year-only special issues will come with a Certificate of Authenticity and be encapsulated in a protective plastic lens.
The set will contain all five semiquincentennial quarters, the Enduring Liberty half dollar, Emerging Liberty dime, Jefferson nickel, Native American dollar, and the Lincoln cent. Despite the Mint ceasing penny production in the Fall of 2025, they will continue striking numismatic pennies that will come ONLY in annual sets.
All five semiquincentennial quarters will be packaged in their own protective lens and honor the following historical moments in our nation’s foundation:
- Mayflower Compact
- Revolutionary War
- Declaration of Independence
- U.S. Constitution
- Gettysburg Address
Both the half dollar and dime will see a new design for this year only. In place of the Kennedy half dollar is the Enduring Liberty half dollar, which depicts the Statue of Liberty and the passing of her torch. The Roosevelt dime has been replaced with the Emerging Liberty dime, which features Liberty on the obverse of the ten-cent denomination for the first time since 1945.
The Native American dollar honors Polly Cooper on this year’s reverse design. Part of the Oneida Indian Nation, Cooper helped save the lives of Continental soldiers after the harsh winter they spend at Valley Forge (1777-78). The reverse design shows Cooper holding a basket as she shares with General George Washington the Oneidas’ gift of corn. The design reflects the sacrifice and courage made by the people of the Oneida Nation during the American Revolutionary War.
There is currently no household or mintage limit, but there is a 480,000 product limit.
