The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the Best of the Mint Gold (2026) series of Commemoratives in the U.S. Coins contains 5 distinct entries with CPG® values between $509.16 and $5,166.92.
In 2024, the U.S. Mint engaged Americans through a public input survey to vote for their favorite historic coins struck throughout our Nation’s history. The five top-rated coins were reviewed and recommended by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) and U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) with final selections approved by the Secretary of the Treasury.
In addition to releasing newly designed circulating coins in 2026, the U.S. Mint issued five special Best of the Mint numismatic coin and medal sets as part of their journey through history.
These five special sets include 24-karat 99.99% fine gold coins reissued as faithful representations of the historic designs with the original dates of issue to acknowledge each coin’s place in history. The coins will also bear a special Semiquincentennial Liberty Bell privy mark with the numeral “250.” Each coin will also have a 1 oz. silver companion medal, featuring new and modern designs, inspired by the 24-karat gold coins.
