My understanding of the coins to be issued for 2026 is as follows:

P D S (UNC) S (PF) S S (PF) S(RPF)
ONE CENT X X N/A X N/A FIVE CENTS X X N/A X N/A
TEN CENTS X X N/A X X
QUARTER V.1 X X ? X X N/A
QUARTER V.2 X X ? X X N/A
QUARTER V.3 X X ? X X N/A
QUARTER V.4 X X ? X X N/A
QUARTER V.5 X X ? X X N/A
HALF V.1 X X N/A X X N/A
HALF V.2 X X N/A X X N/A
HALF V.3 X X N/A X X N/A
HALF V.4 X X N/A X X N/A
HALF V.5 X X N/A X X N/A
NATIVE AMERICAN X X N/A X N/A N/A
INNOVATION $ V.1 X X N/A X N/A X
INNOVATION $ V.2 X X N/A X N/A X
INNOVATION $ V.3 X X N/A X N/A X
INNOVATION $ V.4 X X N/A X N/A X


18 18 5 18 11 4 74

That's 74 different coins for circulating and proof circulation coins. And I'm willing to bet that there will be some kind of ASE special set(s).I'm starting my savings account now.
And it would make a great Dansco Album to have all these together.
Let me know if I am figuring thing wrong.

Well, I can't get my columns to line up. I remember that someone explained how to do that, but I can't find the post.You can tell what I mean though.

They don't inspect anything. I suspect they buy the huge ballistic bags of coins and then put them in their own rolls. They frequently use non standard quantities, I.e., small dollars come from the mint or a bank or armored car company in rolls of 25, I seem to recall that these guys package them in rolls of 20.

Those aren't sold by the mint like that. They are repackaged by a third party, probably World Reserve Mint (?) and sold at horribly inflated prices. Name might be World Monetary Reserve.

And in all probability your dimes are actually the same. Environmental discoloration like this is quite common, missing clad is quite rare and usually results in a very mushy looking strike.

They looked at it. It is something we see on here quite frequently. It is environmental staining/discoloration. Really.

It didn't come from the mint like that. It is made from two coins machined down and put together. It is called a magicians coin and has no numismatic value but would easily sell for $20 and up.

I keep my bullion ASE's in a Dansco album, but keep my proof, burnished, reverse proof, enhanced and other special in an Eagle brand three ring binder with lighthouse brand pages. I had to take all of the ASE's out of the government capsules and put them in lighthouse capsules as the OGP capsules wouldn't quite fit the pages. I like the way it works and looks. For the two that I can't currently afford I used copper rounds as placeholders. Got to say, with over 60 ounces in the binder, it is one heavy sucker.

So I have a post under giveaways where I was offering misc proof sets to young numismatists.
Our member Molydeii requested some for a group of young people that he is mentoring (?), I said I would be glad to contribute.
I sent him 8 misc proof sets dated between 1968 and 1998.
Three weeks later I sent him a Secret Santa gift. Both packages got to his local post office at the same time. He was able to get his Secret Santa package with no problem, but the customs people wouldn't release his proof sets without excessive fees and/or paperwork. (I wasn't totally clear on why they wouldn't let him pick it up. He told them to return to sender.
Well, it finally got back to me today. All 8 sets had been opened, the mint packaging damaged on all 8, all 8 put back in the wrong mint package. A little surprising to me was that none of the coins were removed/missing.
Sorry Molydeii! I tried!

The basic summation to your question would be-
Post 1964 circulation quarters, clad, NOT silver
Post 1964 Proof quarters, some silver, some clad, with varying silver fineness depending on year. Far more clad than silver in quantity.

Also, those aren't rolls from the U S Mint. They were packaged by a company called World Monetary Reserve and sold at greatly inflated prices. If I remember correctly, the rolls are only 25 coins each.

I used Intertape 591 3/4" tape. It is a woodworking tape, will hold for years without drying out and won't outgas to damage coins. You can find it online for about $10 a roll.

Here's a handy help I've done. It's hard to pull the albums out of the slip covers when they are crowded on a shelf.
To help, take all the pages out, put a piece of double stick tape on the inside spine, cut a piece of brown 1/2" ribbon at an angle, put in album with about 1 1/2" sticking out the bottom. Now when you want to pull the album out to look or add coins, it's easier.
