2026 Semiquincentennial President Donald J. Trump $1 Coin – Rare JULY 4th Privy Mark Variety
Struck on Independence Day for America’s 250th Anniversary – Limited to Only 250,000 Coins
Own a true piece of modern American history with this scarce 2026 Semiquincentennial President Donald J. Trump $1 Coin featuring the exclusive JULY 4th privy mark.
This special variety was deliberately struck by the United States Mint at the Philadelphia facility on July 4, 2026 — the exact 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. Only 250,000 examples received this distinctive privy mark, making it a highly sought-after modern rarity among the broader Trump dollar issue.
Key Features & Design
• Obverse: Detailed portrait of President Donald J. Trump designed by U.S. Mint Chief Engraver Joseph Menna. Inscriptions include LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and the dual date 1776 ~ 2026.
The special JULY 4th privy mark appears as a small two-line inscription (JULY above 4th) in the left field, positioned just above the five-pointed star. This area is blank on regular (non-privy) examples.
• Reverse: Classic Presidential Seal design (adapted from the work of former Chief Engraver Frank Gasparro). An eagle holds an olive branch and arrows, with the number 250 prominently inscribed on the shield to commemorate the Semiquincentennial. Inscriptions: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR.
• Specifications: Philadelphia Mint (no mint mark), plain edge, circulating finish, manganese-brass clad composition, approximately 8.1 grams, 26.5 mm diameter.
• Mintage: Strictly limited to 250,000 privy-marked coins, all struck on July 4, 2026, and randomly distributed in the Mint’s 25-coin rolls and 100-coin bags (never offered as a separate product).
This coin holds special historical weight as one of the few U.S. coins to feature a living president (the first since Calvin Coolidge appeared on the 1926 Sesquicentennial half dollar nearly a century earlier). Combined with the precise Independence Day striking date and low mintage, the JULY 4th privy variety has quickly become a focal point for collectors of modern U.S. coinage and Semiquincentennial issues.
A standout addition for any collection focused on presidential coins, privy-mark varieties, or America’s 250th anniversary celebrations.
