2017 P EFFIGY MOUNDS

The mint has gotta be kidding with this reverse design. I just personally do not like it.
USMC60 I should have put this one under my thread works of art.

animal crackers. somebody paid a fortune to get this done. bad artwork for sure.

 

That's pretty much what they look like. Their hands were tied with the subject matter on this one.

 

it's up there for thee worst design ever.

 

There's far worse. That's at least accurate the subject was just awful. They've gooned ones that could have been amazing far far worse

 

You think for the price that they pay for these machines We should get a better design. So far as collectors we only seen a sample of what this milling machine can do. usmc60

 

Overall I completely agree. I am often very critical of the designs they pick. It's just in this case they really do look like that and them making them in a fantasy pattern would be even sillier.

 

Maybe because it's so horrible, this will become a favorite.
I've seen Chuck E. Cheese tokens with better designs.

 

The 5 oz is UGLY also

 

what were the other designs for Iowa ?

 

It's Iowa. That is seriously as interesting as it gets... unless you are interested in pig farms and corn.

 

Or college football

 

show me pigs and corn fields.....better than animal crackers mounds. lol...

 

Coin looks even worse in hand.

 

My boy Kirk calls them the "Chicken McNuggets Quarter".

 

Well I had a 20 piece of quarters for lunch yesterday then

 

I got the Frederick Douglas today. (Metal detecting) but it's in nice shape, must have been a recent drop. Still haven't gotten an Effigy Mounds. Gonna hit the credit union for 5 rolls, maybe I can get a Monsieur Charles E. Fromage quarter.

 

I remember similar ones that didn't have the relief. They would've displaced Wisconsin for "flattest design ever placed into circulation".

Edit: Here we go. IA-13 and IA-14 are the ones I had in mind.
