01Top Coin Story
The U.S. Mint is producing only 250,000 Semiquincentennial Declaration of Independence quarters
with a special “July 4” privy mark and no mint mark. They are being released randomly into circulation,
not sold directly by the Mint. That makes pricing difficult right now: collectors want them, dealers are
trying to establish a market, and early sales may be driven more by hype and scarcity than stable price history.
