<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lucyray, post: 1095005, member: 24565&quot;]Hi Rexexq.&nbsp; Thank you for your reply, and yep, I&#039;m still around!&nbsp; You got me here, so I went back to the information I collected for acquiring one of these pretty coins -- I purchased a proof of same.&nbsp; I am pasting the information I found, here: Twenty-five Cent:- &quot;The wildcat (bobcat) seemed appropriate for this coin, which is large enough for the subtle shape of this common, though rarely seen, animal. It is expressive of a certain intelligent independence and a capacity for formidable action.&quot; -Alex Colville</p><p><br /></p><p>The website with this information tells how the designs for each of the coin were selected, and by whom.&nbsp; It is an interesting read, and if I have written it correctly, you may want to read it yourself:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.coinscan.con/des/1967d" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinscan.con/des/1967d" rel="nofollow">www.coinscan.con/des/1967d</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; It&#039;s all about the design of the coins.&nbsp; Alex Colville did all of the designs in the series.</p><p><br /></p><p>They call it a bobcat.&nbsp; Actually, a wildcat.&nbsp; No matter, but I&#039;m absolutely sure MINE is a bobcat!!!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp;&nbsp; (And, I finally got my REAL bobcat 3 weeks ago - Michigan bobcat, &#039;behind the hounds&#039;, a fat tom!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again for your post, and for the pictures.&nbsp; I think the coin is very pretty!</p><p><br /></p><p>Lucy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
