US MINT 2.5-Ounce Silver 4th of July Declaration of Independence Quarters

I wonder if these are going to sell for $3500ish each based on the price of the 1/2 oz liberty bell.

United States Mint Strikes Limited-Edition 2.5-Ounce Silver Fourth of July Declaration of Independence Quarters
WASHINGTON, July 6, 2026 — The United States Mint (Mint) at Philadelphia struck 250 2.5-ounce silver Semiquincentennial 2026 Declaration of Independence quarters on the Fourth of July under the authority at 31 U.S.C. 5112(u), which authorizes the minting and issuing of silver fractional coins with designs for the Semiquincentennial quarters and half dollar in sizes, weights, fineness, and denominations, and with inscriptions, that the Secretary of the Treasury determines to be appropriate. Bearing no mint mark and featuring a special "July 4" privy mark, these unique quarters were struck sequentially and edge-numbered from 1 through 250.

“These 250 coins represent a truly remarkable moment in our nation’s history,” said Mint Director Paul Hollis. “Struck on the Fourth of July during America’s Semiquincentennial, they commemorate 250 years of independence, making them far more than collectibles—they’re historic artifacts that connect us to this milestone celebration and will be treasured for generations to come.”

The 2.5 oz. Silver Quarters are a collectible version of the Declaration of Independence privy mark quarters, struck on July 4th, identical in design, with the sequence of each coin lasered on the edge. These Silver Quarters will be auctioned at a later date, to be determined. These unique and rare Silver Quarters will be a lasting tribute to our Semiquincentennial and will be cherished by collectors.

Customers can learn more about all the Semiquincentennial coins and medals by visiting the Mint’s website.

Oh man, I wonder what the price tag on those is going to be. I think they're making too many new things this year. Too much excitement makes everything not so exciting anymore, not to mention the cost of these things. At least there are plenty of other coins out there to collect.

 

The release has this line: "These Silver Quarters will be auctioned at a later date" so the price will be set by the highest bidder at a venue like Stacks (which is who the mint has used on the last few instances of auctioning off coins).

 

So basically the first auction winner is going to pay a significant premium, which will go down from there. I might bid on the 240-250th one ... nah, probably still way too high.
I might just have to just get a picture of one instead, would be a lot cheaper.

 

Looking at the flowing hair gold privy auction (230 coins in December 2024), the first was the most expensive followed by the last coin. The grade mattered too (all were graded and some were 70s while others were 69s).

The lowest prices might be in the middle of the auction because by the end, people who were outbid earlier sometimes bid higher just to win one example.

We’re all wonder what ridiculous price the mint is going to charge for this. Just remember, it’s 2.5 ounces and at present that makes it worth $150.00 dollars.

My how it has fallen. make me happy I sold a bunch at the top.

 

Twice as much as it was a year ago and half of what it was 6 months ago. It will go back up soon. Demand is high and supplies are low.

 

Oh, good, here's the United States Mint once again manufacturing a contrived rarity, then auctioning them through a private firm. I'm sure the process for selecting said firm and granting them the profit and publicity was entirely transparent and above-board.

Waiting for the BEP's line of Presidential Pokemon Collectible Cards to hit the block.
