I like the hawaii one myself! :thumb:

 

alaska is my favorite

 

Here are thumbnails from the link:











Of the 5, I prefer Alaska too!

 

I like Alaska the best followed by Hawaii. As a set it should be really sharp. A nice conclusion to a nice series I hope.

 

Alaska for sure.. But I suppose a Hawaii with an extra island because of a die error would be cool..

 

I like Arizona and Alaska.

 

ok good riddance , back to the good old eagle now?

 

Lovely looking coins :thumb: need one more pair for this year and then them and that will be my first compleated set LOL

 

I, too, think it'll be a nice conclusion to the set. Good job!!!!

 

I like Alaska's too - it may be my favorite state quarter. Arizona looks good too.

 

Thanks for the link - Alaska :thumb:

 

I usually like coins with animals pictured somewhere. The Alaskan bear is nice but doesn't compare to a soaring, walking or perched Eagle.

Man, Alaska and Arizona are ny favs! Very nice. Just can't wait till the mint releases them, oh man that mint page will have a heck of a time loading!

Phoenix

 

There are some very good designs coming for 2008, especially Alaska. New Mexico is a typical, boring "state outline"; it could have been so much better (can anyone say "Daniel Carr")?

My thoughts on the series:

Favorite: Nevada, followed closely by Washington (but, we'll see what Alaska looks like in hand).

Least Favorite: Wyoming

 

Of the five I like Alaska the best. They had some other nice possibilities as well. One of the few states that had more than one good choice to pick from. OK is not great but the best of the five design they had to chose from. Hawaii is not bad but I don't think it is as good as the one that won the popular choice vote. And at least they held firm against the Commission of Fine Arts that wanted to get rid of the inscription because it wasn't in english.

 

alaska is a really good design! these state quarters are good, becuase they probaly made millions of new collectors out there. the president dollar probaly did too. state quarters make those old worn out eagle back quarters look plain.

 

hawaii king

hawaii king looks like a nice, good man. i like if the design is more manhood. alaska is the best. overall, virginia is the top one. no wonder its mintage is the highest.

 

my top 5 favorites are NJ, florida, illinois, oklahoma and alaska
