    I'm assuming you're referring to the post-2021 quarters @YoloBagels? If I had to guess, they'd probably reuse the 1999-2021 obverse design used for the Statehood and ATB quarters.

    I was thinking some of our Senators and Representatives are fossils.

    This is how stamp collecting was ruined. The postal system, seeing how much they benefited from all the uncanceled stamps taken out of circulation by collectors, started increasing new releases in such large numbers that most collectors, especially the youngsters that are the lifeblood of any hobby , couldn't afford to buy all the corner blocks. Without new young collectors to carry the torch a vibrant hobby died out and is now only a shadow of what it once was. The mint seems to be following the same greedy path as the postal system. Would anyone care to guess on the amount of statehood quarters that have been shelved and taken out of circulation? I saw a estimate once that there are about ten million coin collectors in the US. If only half of these put together a P&D set of the state quarters that would add up to $130,000,000. How many of us put away multiple bank rolls?

    Exactly, and I know from experience and have been saying the same. I used to be a stamp dealer. It wasn't just the US, either; it was all over the world.

    Especially since they still won't have gotten their backlog of 7070 production filled yet.

    Yes, it is exactly as you put it. I have collected stamps as long as I have collected coins. The USPS started making wallpaper and the US Mint is making ballast. You can't get 50 cents on the dollar for mint stamps. I have probably 80% of US stamps from start to 2000. I just flat quit in 2000. When I was young you could keep up to date for a few dollars a year. The rates did go up, but we are talking hundreds, maybe more than a thousand dollars a year. Completely turned me off as well as many friends.

    Don't forget that while self stick stamps are nice for customers mailing they are terrible for the collectors and it added big time to losing collectors instead of gaining them.

    I agree. I stuck through most of the ATB but by 2015 I was tiring quick. I will finish the set...eventually but as of now, really low on my priority list. I feel the mint has turned me off from quarters for some time if this will be the new norm. I collect what I like and buying several quarters for one year of some computer designed reverse is not it.

    I would love for our coinage to go back to being national symbols again instead of being individual symbols of.... individuals. Then again, I’d like our country to go back to being symbolic of our national pride too instead of being 350 million labels looking to stand out. Ironically, that’s what our coinage is now reflecting. Everybody gets a trophy. And reverse on the quarter.
    If they can’t come up with singular inspiring designs, we left plenty of spectacular examples in the past. It’s not plagiarism to re visit past success. Draw from it. Draw on it. But just draw!

    I feel like they took liberty away and are making us serve them presidents. I prefer the older money. I hope the redesign isn't another design of other presidents. GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!
