Those who would give up ESSENTIAL LIBERTY to purchase a little TEMPORARY SAFETY, deserve
neither LIBERTY nor SAFETY.

My pick - #1

#2. I don't like the position of the wording "Grand Canyon State" it is
in approx. the middle of the design
and is a distraction.

#3. Is at least OK, I like the cactus but is that the Grand Canyon in
the background or a generic desert scene?

#4. Powell's expedition was important but it comes off as honoring
Powell more than Arizona.

#5. The Navajo code talkers - see above. Their actions were important
in WWII but what does that have to
do with Arizona other than the fact they were from there? It would be
more appropriate for a series of coins
honoring WWII actions.

Generic desert scene.

Looks like #2 is leading the pack with #1 a close second.

I like either 1, 2, or 3 and wouldn't be disappointed with any of the three.
If I were rating them in order of preference, it would be 2, 3 and then 1.
4 and 5 don't do anything for me.

Now it looks like #5 is ahead-- someone must be 'spamming' the vote.

#1 is not going to look good on a coin. I think #2 and #3 are best;
preferably #3, it's less cluttered.
