Maya Angelou and Sally Ride to be Honored on Quarters...And how to suggest other women!

As interesting as many of the women mentioned, will there be enough interest in buying these coins. I have so many interests that I am already stretched to the max.

Not from me as I have zero interest in starting something new. At my age I just want to finish and enjoy what I’ve already started.

 

I think there will be interest. Women are joining the numismatic field more so that audience should be interested, plus a few that like the specific women would probably collect those quarters. As a former poetry shop coordinator in college, I can attest to people's love of Angelou in poetry circles. I myself had only heard of two of the five women being honored next year, so I looked them up. I'm always up for learning. I think having the year break before starting the program was a good timing though.

 

I'd only use them if my mom was on them.

 

If Ana May Wong of all people is being put on a coin, I wouldn't be surprised if Marilyn Monroe gets thrown on the reverse before the series is over.

I would love to see Josephine Baker & Mary Pickford placed on the coins. Eleanor Roosevelt too. And I don't count the first spouse series.

Janet Bragg or Bessie Coleman for aviation instead of Earhart.

 

Mothers in general..."the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." Already submitted a few times but doing it again.

 

I meant my mother in particular.

 

The series is going to be a complete flop from a collector standpoint. The Crossing the Delaware had a lot of people excited and it got cut short and robbed of a lot of products to move onto this which quite frankly the designs being selected so far have not been great and are very generic at best.
