U.S. COIN REFERENCE · Semiquincentennial quarters
The five 2026 quarters: identify both designs
The anniversary program changes the obverse as well as the reverse.
By SalarsNet · Reviewed October 5, 2026
Five historical themes
The 2026 quarters honor the Mayflower Compact, Revolutionary War, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution, and Gettysburg Address. Different obverses accompany the themes. Record the actual subject, mint, finish, and dual date rather than allowing a generic Washington quarter label to choose the reference.

An intentional crack on the Bell
The Declaration design’s Liberty Bell includes its crack. That normal feature differs from a crack in the coining die. Photograph the complete design and any proposed abnormal line, then compare its location and shape with the standard image. A normal historical symbol must not become an error premium.

Define the collecting unit
Five subjects, P/D groups, and collector finishes make different sets. Compare the same subject and finish, with quantity and packaging explicit. Special privy treatments need their own product evidence. Production reported during an unfinished year cannot establish final mintage or surviving rarity.

Selected reviewed issue records
These catalog standards describe the named issue, not a measured specimen. The selected records below do not cover every date, mint, strike, or die variety. Reported production is labeled separately from established mintage. Unknown standards and mintage remain visible; survival estimates and certified populations are separate research questions.
No issue-level specification or mintage records are published for this category yet. Verify the exact date, mint, strike, metal, and subtype in its reference before using a numerical standard.
