quarter design after states are done

What is the quarter design going to be after the state quarters are done?

The State Quarters ended in 2008. In 2009 there was a series on Territories, and in 2010 the current National Park aka America the Beautiful series began.

With almost a decade to go on that series, there has been no announcement of what will happen from 2023 on.

 

I kind of hope they pick a new permanent design like they did with the penny and nickel. One because it'd give a cut off for collecting so it doesn't just continue forever and most importantly it'd kind of keep the two sets special, if you did this forever the uniqueness would be lost. It's like the land before time theory I use, at some point you just like to know when to stop.

 

Something patriotic that includes our Flag.

 

Do you think they should go back to the original Washington design?

 

I really like the Reverse of the Barber half,,,,Not good for the obverse,,not suggesting it,,,just saying i like it,,even for a tattoo

 

My personal view on the designs of all the coins is enough presidents, and let's see some more inspired lady liberty designs.

 

we seriously need to bring back the barber series, or even the slq's and wlh's

 

Id like to see the reverse of coins have the logos of the armed forces. Its the least this country could do for the men and women that are in harms way.

 

I beg to differ. The least we could, and should, do is bring them home.

 

I'm up for seeing anything that isn't a dead person or a place that is in America.

 

And fix the VA.

On topic: I wouldn't mind a new design reverse, but I think Washington is there to stay on the quarter (especially if we get rid of the dollar bill)

 

The way I see it, if the ATB series continues to be popular, I would be willing to bet that we'll see some other series of some kind in an attempt to continue along those lines rather than go back to a "standard" reverse design. I know my interest in coins was rekindled by the state quarters program.

But some of the comments in this topic have sparked an idea: wouldn't it be cool if the next series reverse was an homage to some of the classic coins (quarters or otherwise) from the US history? You could see Washington on the front, but the reverse could borrow the designs from Barber or Liberty quarters, or even from historical halves or other coins.

 

I like the historical aspect. Maybe something like the crossing of the Deleware or taking the oath of office. Of couse if they didn't have a continuing series, than the Mint couldn't sell coins.

State birds and flowers.

Or state flags.

 

Been there, done that.

Interesting idea, but I think any worthy design would not work well on a coin of this size.


I strongly feel that so-called "classic" designs should not be brought back and used on any modern coinage, but that a symbolic representation Liberty should be. Think about it... who really would want to see a return of (as an example) Weinman's Winged Liberty design stuck in modern low-relief and on a clad coin? All this would do (IMO) is take away from the magic of the original. Past designs used on bullion is bad enough, but look at the Buffalo commem of 2001; arguably a nice coin on its own, but when compared to the original, it falls short in a very cheesy way. Historical designs should stay where they belong and exist only as remnants of a bygone era.

If we wish to take anything from the past, I believe it should be to do as in the early 20th century and try to return our coins to being things of beauty instead of the blah we have today, and this includes anything that looks as if it were designed using a computer.

 

There is certainly something to be said for that. But having kids who are interested in what's on the back of the state quarters, I can share that we've had a number of great conversations that started with, "What's on this quarter?" Having classic designs revisited might spark more of those conversations, and might even bring a new generation of collectors on board as they start to learn more about the "classic" coins that inspired the new quarter design.

But I see where you're coming from too.

It's a fun idea to speculate about. We have a few years before we'll find out what the mint is actually planning.

 

Kill the dead presidents. I'm sick of seeing them. I would like to see something with a new Lady Liberty on it. Anything but more presidents.

 

Why not replace the presidents with the bankers? They run this country more than the president.

 

I would not mind seeing Medal of Honor recipients immortalized on coins because they made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Ordered into a combat zone they may not have agreed with but followed their orders because of that solemn oath every service member swears to. They gave their lives so that others may live, some of those unknow to the MOH recipient. the least this country can do is honor them.
