<p>[QUOTE="NovembersDoom6, post: 3714057, member: 105392"]I like the state and ATB quarter series. They do keep things interesting. And I think the silver proof versions are really beautiful and worthwhile to collect. But I agree that five issues each year can be overwhelming, and trying to do 50+ coins per series just seems like too much. I like the idea of the American Innovation series, but haven't really seen much come of it yet. One thing I don't like is they only have each innovator's signature in cursive and it's basically unreadable. (unless I'm mistaken, maybe they're written out on the rims like how the presidential dollar coins have rim text.) Just makes it hard to read and distinguish who the coin is actually supposed to be commemorating. I think the idea is great, I just haven't really seen it go anywhere yet, certainly doesn't seem to be appealing to collectors. Same goes for the new Sacagawea coins with the different reverse designs, kinda cool, but as far as I know they're all clad and don't really hold any value for most collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for quarter series, just the other day I was thinking about this. I like the animal idea, not necessarily doing one from each state, but featuring various animals native to the country or maybe focusing on our endangered species. Another idea I had was maybe artists, whether one from each state or not, to recognize the cultural contributions of our authors, painters, architects, musicians, etc. Dunno if either of these will ever happen or what the next plan is for the US Mint when the ATB series is up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
