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?

My type set is 19th/20th century. The 21st century coins are more of a "grab them all" kinda thing.

But, I am a good sport, and if one I must choose, I choose the Mayflower. It pairs well with my 2020 set.

Mayflower Compact represents the very beginning.

Lincoln's head doesn't look proportionate to me the top of his head looks to big maybe it's just the angle of the portrait.?

It is the same obverse as the one used for the 2009 commemorative silver dollar.

I like the Declaration of Independence Quarter the best. The design is very nice.

1776-2026...got to go with the Declaration of Independence.
However I do really like the Mayflower design , shame it's not on a larger coin like a half or full dollar.

If it were me, I'd choose the Mayflower. The other designs are recycled designs. Plus I like ships

That is actually the most logical choice.

I'm not entirely sure what a type set is.

I consider myself a type collector because I focus on collecting each different type of coin released, if I like them, rather than every coin issued each year.

For example, for dimes I have a 1964 silver proof, a 1976 silver proof, and a 2018 silver reverse proof.

I don't really see the point of keeping the 1976 since it doesn't have the 1776-1976 date.

If I reorganize my collection to put all the X-tennial coins on one page, the 1976 penny, nickel, and dime might end up in the change cup.

I came up with this idea today, but there's no space for the Sacagawea dollars, which I'd include if they had the 250 privy mark or the 1776-2026 date.

I think a Paul Revere or Bill of Rights coin would have been more appropriate than the Gettysburg Address
