I was going to post this in another thread already about the ATB series but it was taking too long to search for it. I just saw the 2012 designs today and my favorite is definitely the Hawaii Volcano. I have bought a single coin from the ATB series yet, clad silver, or 5 oz. But I think I'm going to have to buy that Volcano 5 oz. What is the new design you all like the most?
For the new ones this year, I'm digging the Peurto Rican frog. However, I still like Vicksburg the best.
It's difficult to say because many times a coin will look different in hand than in a sketch. Just looking at the sketches, I would choose Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Acadia, Chaco Culture and Denali in that order. It's too bad the design for Denali was again an animal in the foreground with a mountain in the background. Like we don't have enough of those already with Yellowstone, Glacier and Olympic. If any of those coins deserves to have a mountain on it, it is Denali, but they already wore out the concept on the other coins I mentioned.
I hope they do one for the White Mountains since I am from NH! treehugger, heres a link to another forum where some one has posted images of the actual coins. http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=108166
Thanks for the pictures, Bsowa. They make them look a lot better. I'm keeping my order of preference the same, but Hawaii is a close second for me.
