I will say of all the women's heritage quarters issued this year, I think this design appeals to me the most.
At least Maria was a woman and not some ___ in a tu tu. I agree though lets go back to the simple same design for years on end.
I agree. Of the common denominations (1c, 5c, 10c, 25c) the quarter was always my favorite design. Beautiful obverse and reverse. The state quarter program was cool imo but everything since has been pretty lame. And the new obverse on the quarters.. yuck!
I agree too. I don't like these new quarters at all. I thought stuff like that is what commemorative sets were for, not to be on circulating coins. After this current series is done they're planning on doing youth sports reverses . The State series was great, but after that they should have just gone back to the Eagles IMHO.
That would have been a decent idea. Alternatively, I feel they should have stayed with the 2021 design for a minimum of five years. The design has good relief on the front with a very nice design on the back. It exudes a feeling of consistency and permanence like it was meant to last. In fact, going back to c. 1999 I believe it was originally the plan to use this design for a number of years after the State series ended. Unfortunately, it was supplanted in favor of constantly changing themes and designs like what we've seen since its one-year issuance two years ago.
