Description
Every coin struck in the United States this year carries a double date, 1776 - 2026, for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. There are eight new designs - and all of them stop being made at the end of this year.
In this video I show you all eight, which one is genuinely scarce, and what they are really worth, because what people are paying online right now is not what these coins are worth.
The coin to look for: a 2026 half dollar with a W mint mark and a privy mark reading 9-11-01 surrounded by ALWAYS REMEMBER. Only 250,000 were shipped into ordinary circulation on September 14, 2026.
