I was browsing around the WA state website the other day and found out that design submisions for the state quarter end on 7/31. I was trying to think of an design but couldn't think of anything good except for Mt. St. Helens. Then it hit me- why not put the state seal on the reverse! Or maybe just the picture of Washington. How cool would that be- Washington on the obverse and reverse? To the best of my knowledge no other coin has the same person on the front and back.
That's a great idea. You gotta love that view of the mountain when you are at the top of Rainier Avenue headed south- gorgeous.
There are many coins with the same person on both sides....Boon Comm...NJ quarter...cent from 1959-date...and many more....BUT I like your design.. ;--) Speedy
I'll bet you have several in your pocket at this very moment. Take a close look at the reverse of a Lincoln Memorial cent. The statue of Honest Abe inside the Memorial is visible between the pillars at the center of the coin .
I should have thought about about the cent and others. It was just a thought that it would be 'numismatically' interesting to see Washington's mug prominent on both sides... who knows.
Now that I think of it, State Seals should have been State Quarters Reverse. No offense, Tenn Quarter~Lamest looking Guitar thing reverse of a quarter~ give me a day or 3, I will dis most of the state quarters reverse. I like your Rev State Seal idea, TRVST, Too late now for State Seals. DAMB IT
It looks like my guitar right now...I need a new set of strings...I broke 2!!...I think the Tenn quarter guitar only had 5... Speedy
Well, I guess I tried to float a lead balloon on this one. I suppose my idea for a one year dime issue of 5 different types (Draped Bust, Capped Bust, Seated, Barber, and Mercury) would float just as well... and it might be hard for the mint to squeeze it into a set with 5 quarters, 4 pennies and 4 presidential dollars.
