<p>[QUOTE="Chiefbullsit, post: 834289, member: 16513"]Laura Gardin Fraser designed this coin. This design won top honors and was supposed to be the new quarter design in 1932. Instead the U.S. Mint director picked Flanagans design which I also like. She also designed the Grant half dollar and the Grant $1 gold comm. coins in 1922. She and her husband James Earle Fraser also designed the Oregon Trail Comm. Half dollar. She designed the obverse of the Alabama Comm. Half dollar as well.</p><p>The designers back then blow todays designers away.....no contest !!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
