July 4th Privy Mark Quarter

2026 "July 4th" Quarter

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The United States Mint will be producing 250,000 Declaration of Independence Quarters with the special “July 4th” Privy Mark as shown. They will be released into circulation randomly. Some have sold for $1k, others more. The numismatic community will defiantly be on a manhunt for these coins, due to their limited mintage & high demand. Happy hunting!
