I'm getting some mixed messages (via social media) regarding what's been issued and released by the Mint. "The Mayflower Compact Quarter, the dime, and the nickel are the only Semiquincentennial coins in circulation right now." "The Liberty Dime, Liberty Half-dollar and the Mayflower Quarter were released on January 5." Being a history buff I'm VERY hyped regarding this national anniversary coinage. Anyone seen any in change yet!??
FWIW, it was announced on the mint's site that they began shipping them on January 5 https://www.usmint.gov/news/press-r...shipping-semiquincentennial-circulating-coins
This is on the Mint site. Wish they would keep the new design on the dime. I really like it's look. In 2027, the dime will revert to the immediately previous design. The 2027 reverse designs for the quarter and half dollar will celebrate Youth and Paralympic Sports as part of a new four-year program authorized by the Public Law 116-330.
On a side note... this post made me check "the bay" Seller claims on hand (several cases and has pics..) so took a chance https://www.ebay.com/itm/136929848859
well the mint is charging 56 dollars for 2 rolls (P&D) with $13 dollars for shipping so I don't think i did too bad. Oh and those are not availble until Feb 5th. So I expect to have mine before the mint sales start
Me neither, but then I seldom handle coins or currency much anymore, doing most of my transactions with a debit card instead.
Checked with my bank yesterday here in Colorado, they get their coins from Loomis and have not seen anything from 2026 yet.
I know I've posted this before but I miss the days when the mint sold what they called a "Circulating Set". It was like an uncirculated set made up of business strikes. They charged $5.95 in 2017, it went up to $8.95 in 2018, $10 in 2020, then discontinued altogether. This would have been a great way to get these new coins but instead they want over $100 now.
