The full impact of the many coins being offered throughout the U.S. Semiquincentennial won’t be known for some time. How many of these special 2026 coins are reaching circulation is in question, but the more that can is important to stimulating non-collectors to consider joining the hobby. Modern commemorative coins are well known for selling for less than their initial offering price once they hit secondary markets. The mintage figures for some of these Semiquincentennial coins are low as well, drawing even more interest in their future values. Overall, 2026 may prove to be a banner year for those interested in collecting new coins, both business strikes and commemoratives.
