Us type set collectors need to choose which quester we will put in our collection. We have had to so this several times.
2009 Lincoln Anniversary Cent (Presidency),
2005 Jefferson Nickel Westward Journey (Bison),
Washington State & Territory Quarter (New York),
America the Beautiful Quarter (NMI American Memorial Park),
American Women Quarter (Eleanor Roosevelt),
Native American Dollar (Indian Citizenship Act),,
Presidential Dollar (T. Roosevelt) and
American Innovation Dollars (Washington Signed First Patent).
For 2026 I think i am going with the Declaration of Independence Quarter, The Washington and Madison portraits both seem angry and the Mayflower was close.

I'm not a type collector, but the Mayflower quarter is the most appealing to me since it has a unique obverse as far as I'm aware. The other quarters reused designs for their obverses. That being said, the Mayflower quarter does lift the reverse design from the 1920-1921 Pilgrim commem, but I think that rehashed design is still more appealing than the originals on the other coins
We're talking year set collections, aren't we? A type set would, arguably, need to include one of each variety. If we just need one representative for the year, I would just pick the one you like best. I like the Mayflower the best, although I find them all to be somewhat hackneyed.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
As I recall the registry “era” type sets call for one example. However, I’ve included all examples for coins with a limited run. So I have all the nickel designs and all the 2009 cents. Since the 2026 quarters are limited to 5 and the obverse and reverse designs are unique to each, I’ll include them all. Everything is slabbed to I may eventually fall back to a single example to save space. If so, I’ll pick the “first up”, and perhaps the “last up”, which is what I’ve done with state quarters, etc.
