I ordered mine in the first minute of availability and sometime within the hour, it went to 'remind me' status. This never happened years ago when the prices were fairly lower ($15-18) on the clad quarter sets versus $21.00 now. Has anyone else ordered these or tried to?

I am waiting for the full annual sets (uncirculated, proof, silver proof) in the spring. If they choose to not include the quarters in these I am going to be... awfully upset.  |

I am on enrollment. I don't think these will be included in the regular sets.

This is when I love enrollments. My order has already shipped. No stress of ordering is a wonderful thing.

I'm with you, Jbuck. I think these should have been included - as well as the American Innovation Dollars - into the annual proof sets. |

Well, I do have enrollments for the three annual sets. We shall see how it goes.  |

I don't see how they can NOT put the quarters in the annual proof set, kind of defeats the purpose of the annual set if they removed them.
$21 for $1.25 of quarters sold at $4.20 each, that's a savvy purchase! j/k. we like what we like.
no quarters in the annual proof sets... yeah. seems dumb, what's next, no quarters or halves in the annual mint sets because they sell them separately by bags and rolls?
the Innovation dollars aren't legislated for circulation, this is why they aren't in the annual sets, and the NA dollar still is.
Although I have to say I'm miffed they didn't include the George H.W. Bush dollar coin in the annual sets in 2020, it should have been.

I think the Bush dollar came out later in the year after the annual sets had already been on sale.

I believe that is correct. I also believe its NIFC status was another reason for omission like the Innovation dollars.

I can't see the NIFC being a problem for the Bush dollar since all the other President dollars after 2011 were also NIFC. It is more likely the same reason the Ike dollars weren't in the 1971 and 72 proof sets, The holders were already on hand or had already been ordered and there was no hole for the dollar coin. Same thing in reverse for the 1979 proof sets they had lots of holders on hand with the large hole for the Ike dollar so they got inserts so they could use up the holders with the small dollar. Then in 1982 they had a lot of holders with the hole for the small dollar and they used them up by putting a treasury medal in the hole. Rather than scrap a bunch of holders they've already paid for you find a workaround. |

Although I could argue that Bush was never meant to circulate (whereas the original run started off as such), your reasoning make more sense. The 1999 SBA dollars would be another example to consider. |
