<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bacchus, post: 91127, member: 759&quot;]I really like the South Dakota quarter.&nbsp; It very strongly incorporates the radial symmetry I like in a coin, and Mount Rushmore and the pheasant both make strong visual impacts.&nbsp; I feel the pairing of the Mount with the pheasant represents some rather jarring thematic dissonance, but the size and position of the pheasant bring balance to the design, and overall I think this is the best quarter yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>An example of a coin with two separate design elements that work together beautifully is the Kansas quarter, with both the bison and the sunflower shown on the prairie.&nbsp;&nbsp; The Kansas coin is now my second favorite.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Nevada coin, like the California coin, represents lost opportunity.&nbsp; Some of the competing designs were much better.</p><p><br /></p><p>The woulda/coulda/shoulda award still goes to Missouri.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
