Coins Included in the Set
Emerging Liberty Dime — .999 Fine Silver
For the first time since 1945, Lady Liberty returns to the obverse of the dime. She is depicted as a determined young woman wearing a stars-and-stripes Liberty cap as winds of revolution sweep through her hair. The reverse features an eagle carrying arrows in its talons, symbolizing the colonists’ fight for independence, accompanied by the inscription LIBERTY OVER TYRANNY. This historic design marks the first redesign of the dime’s obverse in over 80 years.
Enduring Liberty Half Dollar — .999 Fine Silver
For the first time since 1964, the half dollar features a design other than President John F. Kennedy. The Enduring Liberty obverse portrays the Statue of Liberty in exquisite detail, while the reverse depicts Lady Liberty passing her torch to a new generation. The inscription reads KNOWLEDGE IS THE ONLY GUARDIAN OF TRUE LIBERTY — a profound reminder of the ideals that shaped the American republic.
Mayflower Compact Quarter — .999 Fine Silver
Widely regarded as an important precursor to the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, the Mayflower Compact represents one of the earliest expressions of self-governance in the New World. The obverse depicts two Pilgrims in an embrace as they behold the shores of the New World. The reverse features the Mayflower under full sail, journeying west across rough seas in search of a new beginning.
Revolutionary War Quarter — .999 Fine Silver
George Washington appears on the obverse in his role as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army — the leader who guided the fight for American independence. The reverse portrays a determined Continental soldier at Valley Forge, reflecting the extraordinary perseverance and sacrifice of the men who endured one of the harshest winters of the Revolutionary War. This design honors the courage that made independence possible.
Declaration of Independence Quarter — .999 Fine Silver
Thomas Jefferson appears on the obverse in recognition of his role as the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, the document that announced the colonies’ separation from British rule. The reverse features the Liberty Bell — one of the most enduring symbols of American freedom — its famous crack a reminder of both the fragility and resilience of the young nation at its founding.
U.S. Constitution Quarter — .999 Fine Silver
Known as the “Father of the Constitution,” James Madison appears on the obverse. He was the principal architect of the document that has governed the United States for over two centuries. The reverse features Independence Hall alongside the inscription WE THE PEOPLE, highlighting the foundational principle that all legitimate governmental authority derives from the consent of the governed.
Gettysburg Address Quarter — .999 Fine Silver
Widely regarded as one of the most eloquent speeches in American history, Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address reaffirmed the nation’s founding ideals at a pivotal moment in the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln appears on the obverse, while the reverse features two clasped hands and the inscription A NEW NATION CONCEIVED IN LIBERTY — a testament to unity, sacrifice, and the enduring promise of the American experiment.
Native American $1 Coin
The obverse bears the iconic portrait of Sacagawea carrying her infant son, Jean Baptiste. The reverse honors Polly Cooper and the Oneida Nation, depicting Cooper offering a basket of corn to General George Washington — who removes his hat in a gesture of deep gratitude — commemorating the Oneida people’s vital and often overlooked contributions to the American cause during the Revolutionary War.
Jefferson Nickel — First Dual Date in the Series
The obverse features the portrait of Thomas Jefferson and carries the first-ever dual date in the Jefferson Nickel series, marking the 250th anniversary of American independence. The reverse retains the beloved image of Monticello, Jefferson’s Virginia estate, which has graced the coin since 1938 and remains one of the most recognized designs in American numismatics.
Lincoln Cent — First Dual Date in the Series
Though no longer struck for circulation, the Lincoln Cent continues in the United States Mint’s numismatic program. This anniversary issue carries the first dual date in the Lincoln Cent series. The obverse bears President Lincoln’s portrait and the reverse features the Union Shield — a symbol of Lincoln’s most enduring legacy: the preservation of the Union during the Civil War.
