The Rarest American Eagle of 2026 — Only 5,000 Struck
The 1776–2026-W High Relief Palladium Eagle is the most exclusive coin in the entire 2026 American Eagle program — struck at the West Point Mint in 1 oz of palladium with a dramatic High Relief finish, bearing the dual dates 1776 ~ 2026 and the exclusive Liberty Bell “250” Privy Mark commemorating America’s Semiquincentennial. Certified by NGC at the perfect MS70 Advanced Release grade and autographed by former U.S. Treasurer Anna Escobedo Cabral in an exclusive Global Coin Series holder.
Palladium: The Most Exclusive American Eagle
The American Palladium Eagle was first struck in 2017 and has always commanded a premium over its gold and silver counterparts due to its extreme scarcity. The 2026 edition is even more exceptional: with a mintage of only 5,000 coins across the entire United States, it is the lowest production run of any 2026 American Eagle series coin. Supply is finite, certified examples are already in strong demand, and population reports show MS70 examples are far outnumbered by lower grades.
Winged Liberty: Weinman’s Masterpiece
The obverse features a High Relief rendition of the Winged Liberty design by world-renowned sculptor Adolph A. Weinman — originally created for the 1916 Mercury Dime and considered one of the greatest coin designs in American history. The reverse depicts a majestic American bald eagle in flight, designed by Tom Rogers. Both sides are struck to exceptional depth in the High Relief format, giving each coin a sculptural, almost three-dimensional quality.
Liberty Bell “250” Privy Mark
The Liberty Bell privy mark containing the numeral 250 appears on the reverse of this coin — a permanent mark of the nation’s 250th anniversary that will identify this coin as a 2026 Semiquincentennial issue for as long as it exists.
