any special label planned for these from our host?

Not me but I look through a box of quarters every day looking for W.
Shouldn't be long until I find one! 🤣😂
Someone on Reddit posted one this week. It was part of the proof set apparently.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
The banks won't get them until April 5th I think, the proof set would be the first look we will get.
I have the proof set, it arrived yesterday. I really like it.
That reverse is so much better than the reverse used from 1932 thru 1998. I wish they'd adopt it permanently and stop with all these commemorative reverses already.
Not happy with the design.
The obverse needs to be replaced with something other than presidents.
Maybe the Washington Monument or the US Mint(s) on the obverse and then the old style coinage art with different styles of eagles, barbers busts etc. on the reverse. Our modern day circulation coin designs are boring and plan Jane.
Just my thoughts.

Kennedys are my quest...
I agree that I would love to not see Washington anymore but if we are stuck with him then at least this reverse is a lot more interesting. Shame that we will have revolving reverses again for their umpteen years.
I may actually get a silver proof set and mint set in memory of a nicer design before all the ruckus next year.

What's going to happen next year? What ruckus is coming?
In short the bill, H.R. 1923, authorizes:
➤ Circulating quarter dollars honoring women to be issue from 2022 through 2025.
➤ Circulating coins in multiple denominations in 2026 celebrating the U.S. semiquincentennial.
➤ Circulating quarter dollars from 2027 through 2030 celebrating youth sports.
➤ Redesigned half dollars from 2027 through 2030 with reverses celebrating sports performed by individuals with disabilities.
➤ Medals with the same designs as the coins celebrating youth sports and sports for the disabled.
➤ Award medals for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
➤ Silver bullion coins with the same designs as all of the quarter dollars and half dollars authorized from 2022 through 2030, in the now standard 5-ounce size and in “fractional sizes.”

@TurtleCat Okay...that sounds like a serious Ruckus to me. Geesh and I thought this was a rough year...
I will be watching for the new quarter... I like the design... better than many of the 'commercials' on the SHQ's... From the above post by @TurtleCat, it looks like we will be getting interminable design changes for the foreseeable future. That also means we will not see a return to real art on our coins.

High demand for mint engravers?

Right, wrong, or indifferent the course is that our coins and currency will join the international community in having a myriad of themes and promotions. Hence why this is the last year I’ll be considering a proof or mint set.

I just ordered the proof set yesterday so I'll have it soon. I do think the design is a bit cluttered with the "Crossing the Delaware" above Washington's arm. But, it seems most every design by the mint anymore is cluttered.....they never ask my opinion.
I'd like to see how the general-circulation version comes out. Initially, I was a bit more excited to see this version, as it appeared to be more like a return to the Bicentennial quarter look & depth-of-image vs the shallower versions out there with the ATB's. It may yet turn out to be so. But on looking more & more at it, I'd have been just as happy to have made that Bicen. reverse the standard going forward than any of the anticipated designs for the next 10 or so years..... I'll probably give up actively anticipating/collecting each year's issues as they come out, and just pop them in a folder if & when I find them. No longer seriously attracted to clad coinage & their designs in my old age, or so it would appear.
