I was trying to think of an design but couldn't think of anything good except for Mt. St. Helens. Then it hit me- why not put the state seal on the reverse! Or maybe just the picture of Washington. How cool would that be- Washington on the obverse and reverse? To the best of my knowledge no other coin has the same person on the front and back.   07-16-2005, 05:14 PM   #2 (permalink) Bacchus Coin Duffer   Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Seattle Posts: 977 My Mood: I'd go with Puget Sound and Mount Rainier. And lots of Douglas firs. I miss Seattle. __________________ 救生系統故障。檢查氧氣供應。・救生系统故障。检查氧气供应。   07-16-2005, 05:20 PM   #3 (permalink) TRVST Junior Member   Join Date: Jan 2005 Posts: 26 That's a great idea. You gotta love that view of the mountain when you are at the top of Rainier Avenue headed south- gorgeous.   07-16-2005, 05:52 PM   #4 (permalink) Speedy Researching Coins     Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 11,790 My Mood: There are many coins with the same person on both sides....Boon Comm...NJ quarter...cent from 1959-date...and many more....BUT I like your design.. ;--) Speedy __________________ Coin collecting is the only hobby in the world that you can spend all the money in the world and still have some left over   07-16-2005, 07:41 PM   #5 (permalink) satootoko Retired   Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 5,822 Quote: Originally Posted by TRVST To the best of my knowledge no other coin has the same person on the front and back. I'll bet you have several in your pocket at this very moment. Take a close look at the reverse of a Lincoln Memorial cent. The statue of Honest Abe inside the Memorial is visible between the pillars at the center of the coin . __________________ Roy   07-16-2005, 08:04 PM   #6 (permalink) TRVST Junior Member   Join Date: Jan 2005 Posts: 26 I should have thought about about the cent and others. It was just a thought that it would be 'numismatically' interesting to see Washington's mug prominent on both sides... who knows.   07-16-2005, 09:17 PM   #7 (permalink) Cloudsweeper99 Treasure Hunter     Join Date: May 2005 Posts: 5,764 Under enough magnification, you might also see Jefferson waving out of the window at Monticello.   07-16-2005, 09:55 PM   #8 (permalink) bzcollektor SSDC Life Member     Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: Mercerville NJ Posts: 724 Now that I think of it, State Seals should have been State Quarters Reverse. No offense, Tenn Quarter~Lamest looking Guitar thing reverse of a quarter~ give me a day or 3, I will dis most of the state quarters reverse. I like your Rev State Seal idea, TRVST, Too late now for State Seals.

I suppose my idea for a one year dime issue of 5 different types (Draped Bust, Capped Bust, Seated, Barber, and Mercury) would float just as well... and it might be hard for the mint to squeeze it into a set with 5 quarters, 4 pennies and 4 presidential dollars.   07-17-2005, 02:47 PM   #11 (permalink) Pete P.
