You get two 2026 Enduring Liberty half dollars: the rare West Point “ALWAYS REMEMBER” 9/11 privy-mark coin and a standard Philadelphia coin with no privy. It’s a side-by-side pair showing the regular issue and the special 9/11 strike of this one-year-only Semiquincentennial design.

• 2026-W with the ALWAYS REMEMBER / 9-11-01 privy mark on the obverse. Struck at West Point, mintage just 2,983
• 2026-P standard issue, no privy mark
• Obverse: close-up of the Statue of Liberty with the dual date 1776~2026
• Reverse: Liberty passing her torch to a new generation, under the inscription KNOWLEDGE IS THE ONLY GUARDIAN OF TRUE LIBERTY
• Copper-nickel clad, 11.34 g, 30.61 mm, reeded edge
• The exact coins pictured

Grade: Brilliant Uncirculated (our in-house estimate; raw, not certified). Both coins have full original mint luster with no wear on the high points: Liberty’s cheek, the crown rays and the hands holding the torch. As with any bulk-handled clad coins, expect a few light contact marks in the fields. Please check the photos. They’re excellent candidates for grading.

The 2026-W privy coins were struck at the West Point Mint for the 25th anniversary of September 11. The mintage of 2,983 matches the names on the National 9/11 Memorial, which honors those killed on September 11, 2001, and in the February 26, 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The U.S. Mint presented the full mintage to the Memorial & Museum in August 2026. The ALWAYS REMEMBER wording echoes the Mint’s 2011 September 11 National Medal. Don’t confuse this coin with the later Philadelphia “NEVER FORGET” privy, which is a separate issue with a P mint mark.

The Enduring Liberty half dollar appears for one year only to mark America’s 250th anniversary. It’s the first U.S. half dollar since 1964 without John F. Kennedy’s portrait, and Kennedy returns in 2027. Donna Weaver designed the obverse and John McGraw sculpted it. Beth Zaiken designed the reverse and Darla Jackson sculpted it. The reverse quote comes from James Madison.
