The U.S. Mint has their own Semiquincentennial logo. They are aware of the upcoming anniversary, and recently published a survey regarding one of their ideas - "re-issuing a selection of our greatest coins." -Editor

In honor of our country's Semiquincentennial in 2026, we'll be re-issuing a selection of our greatest coins as numismatic coins and we need your help making the decision! All you need to do is complete our quick, anonymous Best of the Mint survey where you'll rank a series of coins. Take the survey today and be a part of a historic milestone.

I didn't get a chance to discuss this earlier, and now the survey is closed. It was an odd thing, though. It asked people to rate a set of older coin designs. It was illustrated with images of coins from the National Numismatic Collection, but the quality of the coins and images was all over the map. Some were dark looking circulated examples that did the designs no justice. It could be that the fix was in for certain designs, but more likely this was just a result of government incompetence or indifference. The survey could have been far better done.

By "numismatic coins" I assume they mean non-circulating commemorative coins or medals. Nothing to do now but wait for the next communication on the topic. -Editor
