Attention club members — this just got even more exciting!
NGC has announced a $2,500 cash bounty for the first paid NGC Collector member to submit a genuine 2026 Declaration of Independence Quarter with the “July 4th” privy mark for grading.
This is a fantastic incentive for those actively searching for one of the 250,000 limited circulating rarities released by the U.S. Mint.
Important Details:
- Only paid NGC Collector members are eligible (NGC Dealers are not eligible).
- Paid NGC memberships start at just $39 per year.
- The coin is identifiable by the “July 4th” privy mark to the left of Washington’s portrait on the obverse and no mint mark.
- NGC will return the graded coin to the submitter along with the bounty for the first successful submission.
Pro Tip: Use the official NGC America250™ certification label (now available) when submitting to celebrate the Semiquincentennial in style.
This is a rare opportunity to combine the thrill of the hunt with a serious cash reward. Whether you’ve already been checking change, ordering bank rolls, or plan to start now — the clock is ticking!

Club members, let’s get hunting! If you find one, we want to hear about it. Share your stories, photos of any finds (even the regular 2026 quarters), and hunting strategies in the comments or at our next meeting.
Good luck — may the odds be in your favor!
Happy hunting and Happy (early) Fourth of July!
