I think they are coming out with yet another design series for the quarters after whatever they have for the 2026 Semiquincentennial design. I think someone mentioned kids sports. So I don't know if they will include AI proofs with the normal proof set if they do. But surely would be a price hike if they do.

That's seven more years for the program to run ( 2026 - 2032 ) IF the Mint doesn't pull the plug on the reverse proofs as they have with the standard proofs.
That is my fear now. There are no guarantees. Now I wish I had left them in the OGP until the end before buying the album.

... with the end of the American Women Quarters program in 2025, the proof set seems a likely landing zone.

Yes, the perpetual quarter program will never end. There will be multiple quarters a year until they stop making coins.

It might have been helpful to have had the proof American Innovation Dollars included with the clad proof set and the reverse proof American Innovation Dollars included with the silver proof set. But then again, probably not with the much higher price that path would have required.

In December 2024, Coin News reported five Semiquincentennial Quarter Designs had been recommended by the CCAC, Here's a link that includes details on each of them.

The California Steve Jobs is an odd design, he kinda looks like a woman floating on a magic carpet . Minnesota is cool, have we ever had a truck on any of our coins before?

Steve Jobs in a yoga pose on a pillow. . .in a rural setting too. I wonder if Bill Gates will show up on the Washington dollar down the road. . .

I'm glad I bought 2 sets of each - one in OGP and the other for Dansco

I would not want to leave them there permanently, I would have just bought a more appropriate album. Probably a custom one with four blank baby dollar pages.

Now I have no desire to move them to another albums, so I have to figure out what to do in the last four pages.

which ones are you referring to the OGP or the ones in the Dansco album? and if the Dansco, why not leave them there?

Has the mint ever stopped and then restarted a subscription program for one year before? Maybe since the Innovation dollars have the 250th privy they will put them all in one big proof set and then restart it next year on its own again. Or maybe also have a bigger set that includes the S mint American Eagle. Maybe that's why they cancelled the subscription since their won't be one for 2026 but resume it in 2027.
