<p>[QUOTE="dreamer94, post: 712375, member: 6449"]It was reported in a recent issue of CoinWorld that the obverse of the ATB quarters will have a completely new portrait of Washington that was digitally recreated from the original model used for the first (1932) Washington quarter. The design of the obverse, however, is very similar to the state/territorial obverse. You're right that what I meant was that it wouldn't be as easy to distinguish the ATB quarters from the state quarters as it is now to distinguish the state quarters from the old eagle-back quarters. </p><p> </p><p>I think the mint is missing an opportunity here to generate more interest in the new series than I think they will with their current plans. </p><p> </p><p>"Boring" was probably a bit harsh, but I do think it's time for a new design.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
