About the 2026 quarter
The 2026 quarter is a regular circulation issue, struck in copper-nickel clad copper, weighing 5.67 g, 24.26 mm across, from a design by Don Everhart. It was struck at Denver, Philadelphia — 549,400,000 coins in all, which is why an ordinary example is worth close to face value however well it has been kept.
For scale, 2026 mintage was 51% lower than in 2025 (1,110,200,000 that year) — enough to compare, not enough to change how the coin is valued today.
Philadelphia made the fewest at 259,400,000, against 290,000,000 from Denver. The mints are within the same order of magnitude, so on this date the mint mark does far less to the price than condition does.
This is a recent coin, so there is no meaningful spread yet: circulated examples run from $0.36 to $6.02, and the grading data that separates ordinary coins from exceptional ones has not built up.
Legends on this design — obverse: “E PLURIBUS UNUM · JI DE · IN GOD WE TRUST”. Reverse: “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA · WE THE PEOPLE · LIBERTY · U.S. CONSTITUTION · QUARTER DOLLAR”.

How to identify your 2026 quarter
What if it has already been cleaned?
Still identifies the same — you lose the premium. Don't try to fix it.
Where is the mint mark
It sits on the obverse to the right of Washington's ponytail. No letter means Philadelphia — normal, not rare. What the letter means →
Proof and collector versions
Alongside the coins made for circulation, the Mint sold 5 collector versions of the 2026 2026 quarter — proofs and special finishes struck at San Francisco and sold directly in sets. These never entered circulation, so if your coin came out of a till or a jar it is not one of them. They carry an S mint mark and a mirror or satin finish that is obvious next to an ordinary coin.

Is it worth grading?
Grading costs roughly $50–100 per coin. Against a mintage of 549,400,000 and a best circulated value of $6.02, the fee is more than the coin returns. Keep it raw unless it is exceptional or you suspect a variety.
