Further reading These quarters will be the most highly collected of all quarters. I mean, really, just look at the exquisite designs- on all of them. I got a bad shipment with lesser coins, so I will send mine back. But I WILL have a 70 set. BTW, did yours have quality finish issues like mine? I had sand spots in the mirrors.
A little more effort on these photos...same coins... Need to work to keep my lighting consistent....tough to do with proofs....lotso reflection
Acadia looks awesome as well, I'm a sucker for those new england lighthouses. That's pure Americana right there!
I like the designs for this year also. I like Puerto Rico the best, then Hawaii (because it's a more modern look for a change), then Acadia, then Chaco Culture, and lastly, Denali (we already have enough background mountains with animals in the foreground.) I also think some of these will look great as pucks.
Think of it as the Wildlife Sub-series (America's answer to the Canadian Wildlife Series). Granted, they are filling the series a bit quickly. We also have the battlefield series and the landscape series.
Started this thread when I got this coin in proof last year. I finally got the US Mint Vapor Blasted 5oz representation. Love this design. Love how it looks on the vapor finished silver. Hope the design crews keep up the pace with the National Parks through the ATB designs...many are great, this is my favorite so far.
I got shut out of the El Yunque, as it appears to be sold out, in the 5 oz hockey puck. All of them seem to have such low mintages.
