June is a standout month for U.S. Mint collectors, with several firsts packed into a short release schedule. Highlights include two key opportunities to obtain 1776 ~ 2026 cents — the only uncirculated version and one of just two options to get a proof version — plus the sole way to get several 1776 ~ 2026 coins in silver, the first chance to get all five 1776 ~ 2026 quarters, and the launch of the new “Best of the Mint” gold series.
All of the month’s releases carry Semiquincentennial ties, through dual dates, Liberty Bell “250” privy marks, or one-year-only designs.
June 4: Best of the Mint 1916 Mercury Dime Gold Coin and Silver Medal Set
The month kicks off on Thursday, June 4, with one of the Mint’s headline Semiquincentennial products: the Best of the Mint 1916 Mercury Dime Gold Coin and Silver Medal Set.
The release launches a five-set series celebrating historic U.S. coin designs and pairs a 24-karat, one-tenth-ounce gold coin inspired by the 1916 Mercury dime with a one-ounce .999 fine silver medal. The gold coin features the classic Winged Liberty design, the 1916 date, and a Liberty Bell "250" privy mark, while the medal offers a modern tribute to the dime’s 1916-1945 circulation era.
Limited to just 30,000 sets and carrying a one-per-household order limit for the first 24 hours, the set is expected to sell out quickly. Pricing (TBD) will be announced June 3. It will be the most affordable of the five sets in the series, as later releases will include larger gold coins.
June 11: 2026 Silver Proof Set
The Semiquincentennial 2026 Silver Proof Set brings one of the year’s rare chances to obtain a 2026 cent when it launches on June 11. Because the cent is no longer produced for circulation, collectors will have only three Mint products offering it: this set, the standard 2026 Proof Set scheduled for fall, and the uncirculated 2026 Mint Set later in June.
In addition, this San Francisco-struck set is the only Mint product offering the full lineup in silver: the Emerging Liberty dime, all five Semiquincentennial quarters, and the Enduring Liberty half dollar.
Priced at $245 and carrying a mintage limit of 250,520, it includes 10 proof coins, seven of them struck in 99.9% fine silver.
June 16: Semiquincentennial 2026 Declaration of Independence Quarters
Collectors get an opportunity to purchase the third Semiquincentennial quarter design on Tuesday, June 16. The 1776 ~ 2026 Declaration of Independence quarter will be available in circulation-quality strikes from both the Philadelphia and Denver Mints in the following formats:
- Two-roll set (P&D): $56.00
- 100-coin bag (P): $63.00
- 100-coin bag (D): $63.00
Product and household order limits have not yet been announced.
June 30: 2026 Uncirculated Coin Set (Mint Set)
The month closes on June 30 with one of the year’s key U.S. Mint releases for cent collectors: the 2026 Uncirculated Coin Set (2026 Mint Set) — the only Mint product offering uncirculated 1776 ~ 2026 Lincoln cents.
Priced at $124.50, the 20-coin set includes coins from both Philadelphia and Denver mints: the five Semiquincentennial quarters, Native American dollar, Enduring Liberty half dollar, Emerging Liberty dime, Jefferson nickel, and Lincoln cent. The set has a published product limit of 300,000 and a household order limit of 10.
