Just like having to chose what state quarter or which presidential dollar to choose for our sets, which 2026 Semiquincentennial quarter do you think you'll choose?

They're all disappointing and a couple are horrible.
This one is the best of the bunch.
When I saw your title, I was thinking 7070. There are just so many modern day types, I just can't get my mind wrapped around them nowadays. They mint these coin today like the post office prints stamps!

For me hands down the Mayflower Compact. My first ancestors to America came over on the Mayflower.
id like to see the Hawaiian thats on the 2023 quarter on it, jmo

You can't make a 7070 big enough for all these modern types.

They should start distinguishing between "definitive" and "commemorative" as they do in stamps.
Have an album with just definitives.
Good question. The obverse differences between the quarters are significant enough to include them all in my type set. That and a more manageable number to deal with. Agree that the pilgrim is best if one example is used.
My 7070 is so old the last dollar coin entry is the SusieB, slot has 1979-
none of the above ...

My type set includes 1 of every design, even quarters. I’ll have to get them all. At least I set an end date on my type set which is 2026. It makes an interesting end to the set and thankfully nothing needed from 2027 onward.

Even making a custom page (for some modern types) with a blank DANSCO page for the back of my 7070, didn't help much!

It's a blizzard of mediocrity in my eye

I like them for their history. I didn't know Jed Clampett and Granny came over on the Mayflower.
One of every State/Territory/DC/National Park/Women?
I will buy a silver Proof set. If it’s in there, I will have one. If it’s not, I’ll do without.
For years I went out of my way to keep a 100% complete type set on the NGC registry, from the half cent, though the gold to the “old commemoratives.” Then the grading fees went up, and it’s impossible to buy new certified coins in PR-69 for reasonable sums. The Washington Crossing the Delaware quarter is impossible to find for less than $75. The later ones are the same, Nobody offers them.
I guess the Mayflower Commemorative... but it's also uninspiring...

This is the first I'd heard of them, so thanks for that.
I wish the designs excited me more.
Still, I'll be looking out for them now.
I'd probably just throw a 1932-1964 WQ design in the slot instead of one of those.

The mint is doing all it can to destroy interest in collecting coins and upping the interest speculation. If you think I’m nuts, look at what the Post Office Department did stamp collecting. They issued too much stuff, and collectors pulled the plug.
Yes, plus all the different dollars, and clad & Silver commemoratives.

OK, I’ll be only the fourth one on this post to provide a direct answer as to which one I’ll buy!
For me, it’s the Lincoln with the Gettysburg Address! Do you know why?????

It’s the ONLY new quarter with a CAC! (Look at the reverse!) 😂

My collecting “Pride & Joy” is my PCGS Registry Dansco 7070 Set:

Interestingly, and what is not common knowledge, the 1932 Washington quarter was considered a commemorative until the mint continued to produce them again in 1934.
The Liberty Standing design did not go the required 25 years.
