The U.S. Mint’s latest weekly sales report tells a striking story: three brand-new releases swept the top four spots, and two of them sold out almost instantly. The 25-coin rolls and 100-coin bags of the 2026 Semiquincentennial President Donald J. Trump $1 Coin claimed the top two positions, with the 100-coin bags disappearing in under an hour and the rolls gone in roughly seven and a half hours. Right behind them, the 2026-W Uncirculated American Palladium Eagle priced at $1,895 and struck in one ounce of .9995 fine palladium sold out in about eight minutes. Rounding out the new-release wave, the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Silver Medal opened with sales just above 10,000 units, a solid but slightly softer start than the two Presidential Silver Medals released earlier in 2026.
Together, the Trump dollar rolls and bags accounted for 8,673,500 coins 99.1% of the combined 8.75 million-coin ceiling across both products making this one of the fastest-selling modern numismatic launches from the Mint in recent memory. This report breaks down the specifications, the buying process (and why two of these products are no longer available), the design and historical background behind each coin, and what the results mean for collectors watching the broader 2026 Semiquincentennial coin program.

Note on dates: the Trump dollar carries the dual date “1776 ~ 2026” and is struck at the Philadelphia Mint without a mint mark; the Palladium Eagle carries the same dual date alongside a Liberty Bell 250 privy mark and is struck at West Point with a “W” mint mark; the Coolidge medal carries no date, mint mark, or privy mark, consistent with the Presidential Silver Medal series’ format.
Buying Process: What Happened and What’s Still Available
Because these are three very different products, the ordering experience varied significantly across them.
Trump Dollar Rolls and Bags (sold out): Released September 2 at noon ET, the coins were limited to two of each product per household for the first 24 hours after launch a standard Mint practice for high-demand releases. The 100-coin bags, priced at $154.50, sold out in under an hour; the 25-coin rolls, priced at $61, lasted roughly seven and a half hours before hitting their 150,000-unit limit. Collectors should note that 250,000 coins carrying a special “JULY 4th” privy mark were randomly mixed into the rolls and bags, meaning buyers had no way to select for or against receiving one it came down to chance. With both products now sold out at the Mint, remaining supply exists only on the secondary market, where dealers and collectors who purchased at release are reselling individual coins and unopened rolls/bags, often at a premium tied to whether a July 4th privy-marked coin is included.
2026-W Uncirculated Palladium Eagle (sold out): Released September 3 at $1,895, this coin sold out in about eight minutes against a 5,000-coin mintage, with 4,778 coins reported sold (95.6% of mintage). Palladium Eagle pricing follows the Mint’s precious-metals pricing matrix, which adjusts weekly based on palladium’s market price meaning the $1,895 launch price reflected market conditions at release and would not necessarily apply if the Mint offered additional palladium products later. As with the Trump dollar, this product is no longer available directly from the Mint; interested collectors will need to look to the secondary bullion and numismatic market.
Calvin Coolidge Presidential Silver Medal (currently available): Released September 3 at $164, this medal remains open for ordering directly from the Mint with no mintage limit, no product limit, and no household order limit a defining feature of the Presidential Silver Medal series as a whole. Unlike limited-mintage commemoratives, every past release in this series remains available for purchase at any time, meaning collectors are not racing against a clock or a fixed ceiling with this particular medal. The early sales figure of 10,076 came in modestly below the two Presidential Silver Medals released earlier in 2026 the Warren G. Harding medal (10,352) and the Woodrow Wilson medal (10,525) though the Mint’s own reporting notes that early sales figures for this series often see downward revisions in the first few reporting cycles before settling into steadier week-to-week patterns.
Historical and Design Background: The Trump Dollar
The 2026 Semiquincentennial President Donald J. Trump $1 Coin is part of a one-year program marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the new coin on July 15, 2026, and the Mint released the final designs on August 4, 2026, under Mint Director Paul Hollis. The coin carries particular historical weight: it places a sitting president on U.S. coinage for the first time in a century, a distinction last held by Calvin Coolidge on the 1926 Sesquicentennial half dollar an echo that connects directly to the same week’s Coolidge Presidential Silver Medal release.
The coin was authorized under the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 and shares its composition, weight, diameter, and edge style with the long-running Presidential dollar and Sacagawea dollar series that have circulated since 2000. Although struck with a circulating finish and carrying legal-tender status, the coins sold through Mint rolls and bags have not actually been placed into general circulation.
Historical and Design Background: The American Palladium Eagle
The American Palladium Eagle is the U.S. Mint’s official palladium bullion and numismatic coin, authorized by the American Eagle Palladium Bullion Coin Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-303) and first issued in 2017. Rather than commissioning new artwork, Congress specifically directed the Mint to adapt two existing works by acclaimed early 20th-century sculptor Adolph A. Weinman. The obverse reuses Weinman’s 1916 “Winged Liberty Head” design, familiar to collectors from the classic Mercury Dime. The reverse adapts Weinman’s 1907 design for the American Institute of Architects’ Gold Medal marking the first time that AIA medal artwork had ever appeared on U.S. coinage. Each year’s Palladium Eagle finish is required by law to differ meaningfully from the prior year’s, which is why the series has rotated through bullion, proof, reverse proof, and uncirculated finishes since its debut. The 2026-W issue carries the series’ now-standard Semiquincentennial-era dual date of 1776 ~ 2026 along with a Liberty Bell 250 privy mark, tying this bullion release into the Mint’s broader 250th-anniversary program.
Historical and Design Background: The Coolidge Presidential Silver Medal
The Presidential Silver Medal series launched in 2018 and has added four new medals each year since 2019, working chronologically through the nation’s presidents. Calvin Coolidge, the 30th president, served from August 3, 1923, to March 4, 1929, having ascended to the presidency after Warren G. Harding’s death in office and later winning election in his own right. Each medal in the series is designed to echo the original commemorative medals historically associated with each administration; the Coolidge medal’s obverse and reverse were both designed by John Ray Sinnock, who served as the Mint’s chief engraver from 1925 to 1947 and would have been a contemporary engraver during Coolidge’s actual presidency. Struck at the San Francisco Mint (though bearing no mint mark, per series convention), the medal is part of a run that will continue in 2026 with additional releases honoring Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, and Herbert Hoover.
Obverse and Reverse Designs
Trump Dollar
Obverse: A forward-facing portrait of President Donald J. Trump in a suit and tie, created by U.S. Mint Chief Engraver Joseph Menna and based on an official White House photograph by Daniel Torok. “LIBERTY” arcs across the top of the coin, “IN GOD WE TRUST” appears to the right of the portrait, and the dual date “1776 ~ 2026” curves along the bottom. Reverse: The Presidential Seal a heraldic eagle holding an olive branch in one talon and a bundle of arrows in the other, with a shield on its breast bearing the additional inscription “250” to mark the Semiquincentennial. A banner in the eagle’s beak reads “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” with “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “ONE DOLLAR” completing the reverse inscriptions.
American Palladium Eagle
Obverse: A high-relief rendering of Weinman’s “Winged Liberty,” showing Liberty’s profile wearing a winged cap, surrounded by “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” the date, and Weinman’s intertwined “AW” initials. Reverse: A high-relief eagle standing on a rock outcropping with wings raised, pulling an olive branch from the rock Weinman’s original AIA medal composition accompanied by “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” the “$25” face value, “1 OZ. Pd .9995 FINE,” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” The 2026-W issue additionally carries the Liberty Bell 250 privy mark tied to the Semiquincentennial program.
Calvin Coolidge Presidential Silver Medal
Obverse: A bust portrait of Coolidge encircled by the inscription “CALVIN COOLIDGE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” Reverse: Bordered by a stylized laurel wreath, the design depicts a seated female figure holding fasces (a traditional symbol of authority), a heraldic eagle perched atop a U.S. shield, and a cornucopia. Inscriptions reference Coolidge’s inaugurations “INAUGURATED,” “AUG∙3∙1923 AND MAR∙4∙1925” along with the date “1928.”
Why This Matters for Collectors
This week’s report offers a useful snapshot of where collector demand is concentrated in the current market. The near-instant sellouts of both Trump dollar products confirm extremely strong demand for a coin type with genuine historical significance the first sitting-president coin in a century and the randomly inserted July 4th privy-mark coins add a built-in rarity subset for collectors to chase on the secondary market. With Mint inventory exhausted, prices for both the standard and privy-marked coins are likely to be driven entirely by secondary-market dynamics going forward, making early verification of authenticity and privy-mark status important for anyone buying after the fact.
The Palladium Eagle’s eight-minute sellout, meanwhile, reflects the structurally small mintage (just 5,000 coins) typical of the modern Palladium Eagle program, combined with steady collector and bullion-investor demand for a coin that carries both a fine-metal content play and a historically pedigreed design. Because Palladium Eagle pricing tracks the Mint’s precious-metals matrix rather than a fixed number, the $1,895 launch price is itself a data point about palladium market conditions at the time of release.
The Coolidge medal’s more modest opening, by contrast, is worth watching rather than over-interpreting. Because Presidential Silver Medals carry no mintage or product limits and remain permanently available for purchase, early sales figures function less as a scarcity signal and more as a demand indicator and the Mint’s own data show that these early-week figures for the series often get revised downward before settling into a steadier pattern. Collectors interested in completing the series don’t face the same urgency as with a strictly limited release; supply isn’t the constraint, only price and personal budget are.
Taken together, this reporting period illustrates a market that is currently rewarding scarcity and novelty (the sold-out Trump dollar and Palladium Eagle) while treating open-ended, always-available products like the Presidential Silver Medal series as steady, lower-pressure additions to a collection.
Quick-Reference Buying Guide
- Check current availability first. Both the Trump dollar rolls/bags and the 2026-W Uncirculated Palladium Eagle are sold out directly from the Mint confirm current status on usmint.gov before assuming a product is still orderable.
- For sold-out products, shift to the secondary market. Reputable dealers, major auction houses, and certification-service population reports (PCGS, NGC) are the realistic path to acquiring the Trump dollar or Palladium Eagle now that Mint supply is exhausted.
- If chasing a Trump dollar with the July 4th privy mark, verify before buying. Because the privy-marked coins were randomly mixed into ordinary rolls and bags, get visual or certified confirmation of the privy mark rather than relying on a seller’s description alone.
- For the Coolidge medal, there’s no rush but also no scarcity play. With no mintage or order limits, this medal (and the rest of the Presidential Silver Medal series) can be purchased at leisure directly from the Mint; it is unlikely to become a short-term rarity.
- Watch precious-metals pricing before buying palladium or silver products. Both the Palladium Eagle and the Coolidge medal are priced under the Mint’s weekly precious-metals matrix, so price points shift with the underlying metal market check current Mint pricing rather than relying on the launch price cited here.
- Track weekly Mint sales reports for momentum signals. Products gaining more than 1,000 units week-over-week (as several did in this reporting period) can indicate rising collector interest worth following for future releases in the same series.
- Set a household order limit reminder for future high-demand launches. The Trump dollar’s two-per-household limit for the first 24 hours is a common Mint practice expect similar limits on future high-demand Semiquincentennial releases, and be ready to order promptly at the stated release time.
- For series collectors (Presidential Medals, American Innovation Dollars, Best of the Mint sets), check running totals against product limits. Several 2026 Best of the Mint and commemorative products in this report were still well below their mintage ceilings, meaning there’s no urgency yet but that can change quickly, as the near-sellout of the 1804 Silver Dollar Set (77.6% of its 15,000-set limit) shows.
