    The designer initials (three sets?) on both sides do appear rather prominent. Victor D. Brenner got his erased off the back of the Lincoln cent for less.

    Agree I thought they were too prominent.

    And it’s a decent likeness of Lady Liberty.

    I liken her to more if a Marrian. What a sweet face!

    What an incredible design. Unless you spend cash, you won't find one. I hope to find a few more, Might even ask the tellers if they have a few rolls, they will be hoarded.

    You mean Marianne. Yes, there is a resemblance there, now that you mention it.

    Won’t be the first time our coins (unintentionally or otherwise) resembled a French design.

    I doubt it. Everybody's by now gotten used to such a wide variety of quarter designs (not to mention nickels and even cents), that I doubt most folks will even bother to look.

    Speaking for myself, with my late-middle-aged eyesight, with a coin as small as a dime, a lot of the details are lost on me anyway, unless I take a loupe out of my pocket. I have trouble reading the date on a dime even with my specs on.

    Because the designs in circulation now are so varied, I'll bet you could spend a foreign coin of the right color, diameter, and thickness as a US coin, without anyone paying much attention.
