I like many of these designs. http://www.numismaticnews.net/articl...ter_ambitions/ Thanks for that posting. I have a weakness for any coin design that relegates the verbiage to a wide rim and leaves the center free of lettering. I'd like to see that practice extended to the Washington face as well. Whoever came up with that concept for these quarters is to be commended. As far as the designs are concerned, they are extremely esthetic and detailed. I like 'em, too! James |

James One thing I personally think would make our often bland-looking quarters look a bit more "classic" and three dimensional would be the inclusion of beads or denticles around the inner rim, like in many of our 19th century silver coins. Call me old fashioned, but....... |

Call me old fashioned, but....... Hello Thanks for posting the link. I for one like the "AZ-01". In 1987, I took a river rafting trip down the Colorado River, some 200 miles through Grand Canyon. I have a photo that is very close to that image. My photo has the Indian Ruins in the cliff walls on the right. The coin does not show the Indian Ruins. That trip cost me $1,500.00 dollars for the seven days on the river. I still have the river map from that trip showing the rapids back then. The water is a constant 43 degrees from the bottom of Glen Canyon Dam. It was well over a 100 degrees out of the water. The room in Vegas was WONDERFUL at the end of the river trip. I was trashed-out back then in my late 20's. ... |

I've been there. The West Virginia quarter is one of my favorites for the same reason. JAM |
