After further research, I find that the reverse of the RI quarter was actually designed by Thomas D. Rodgers and not Daniel Carr. http://www.usmint.gov/historianscorner/?action=coindetail&id=29212

 

I also found that the reverse of the NY quarter was designed by Alfred Maletsky. http://www.usmint.gov/historianscorner/?action=coinDetail&id=29209

 

It appears to me that DC has submitted many
designs to the US Mint, but none have been used.​

Alfred Maletsky was an engraver for the US Mint as was Thomas D. Rogers.

They "engraved" the winning designs that Daniel Carr submitted during the State Quarters program.

Unlike other programs, winning "designs" were selected by each States Governor then submitted to the US Mint who would then adapt the design for us on the coins. The actual "designers" initials were never used.

Sometimes, the level of ignorance that invades coin forums is simply amazing.

 

But it seems that his main income is from using the designs that others created and he has used without explicit permission, rather than his own.

 

My info came from the mint's web site.
Yeah, the level of ignorance is quite high here, O All Knowing Great Poobah.

 

Why doesn't the mint credit DC, if he was the designer?

 

They don't mention the designers on any of the state quarters, only the engravers. Dan Carr DID design the New York and Rhode Island quarters.

 

If you look here http://www.usmint.gov/historianscorner/?action=coindetail&id=29212 and here http://www.usmint.gov/historianscorner/?action=coinDetail&id=29209 they specifically say DESIGNER, not ENGRAVER.


RI Reverse Designer:
Thomas D. Rodgers

NY Reverse Designer:
Alfred Maletsky

I would think that if DC really designed these coins, he'd have demanded a correction by now.

DCs name doesn't appear as designer on the mint's web site.

 

So, because his designs were not accepted, he was not the designer of the minted and issued coins.

 

So it's a state mandated modification of Carr's design.

 

The US Mint did not credit ANY of the designers of the State Quarters. Only their engraving staff.

 

Ok, same thing. The US Mint modified CARR's design.

I'm sure modifications are made on a majority of designer's works, whether it is coins, buildings, etc. That doesn't take away from who's original design is modified.
