Overview
- The Mint says the design is still under review, so striking has not begun and a July 4, 2026 debut is unlikely.
- The agency says there is no on-sale date, and it is not aiming to release the coin on the Semiquincentennial.
- After final approval, the Mint estimates six to eight weeks to start striking and then several more months for production.
- Government lawyers rejected a lawsuit that sought to block the coin, citing earlier U.S. commemoratives that featured living people.
- The planned run totals 47 pieces of 24k gold at about 19.7 ounces each, priced near $90,000, with Newsweek estimating availability in late 2026 or early 2027.
