of course nevada is always last

 

I always equate the the mustangs with the Mustang ranch first legal brothel in Nevada. So to me in a way they ARE showing prostitution in a subtle way.

 

The worst:

South Carolina (it's just a bunch of state symbols, very busy and unimaginative)
Texas (we know it's the Lone Star State, isn't there anything else?)
Michigan (same problem as Texas)
Connecticut (a big tree?)

The best:

Georgia
Rhode Island
Arizona
North Dakota
California

 

Texas was very generic, and Florida was a bunch of crap slapped together. And I did not like alaska either. Actually there where about 3 in the whole serious that I did like.

 

No, I didn't expect poker chips, but I did expect to see Hoover Dam on it. Horses mean nothing to me.

 

Best/favs, CT, NJ, AK, RI

worst - any quarter with a state outline

 

Best State Quarter: Connecticut
Other that I like: Virginia, Oregon, West Virginia, Alaska

Worst SQ: Wyoming
Others that I do not like: Maryland, Texas, Florida, Montana

In general I do not find state outlines attractive either. In the case of Michigan, the combination with the shapes of the lakes looks OK though.

Hadn't really thought much about the series couldn't really remember many of the designs so had to look them up. The list of worst was harder to decide than the best for there were so many poor designs. If these where all done by competition I wonder what so of the losing designs looked like?

Best:

Maine
Hawaii
New Jersey
Virginia
Utah

Worst:

Michigan
Pennsylvania
Tennessee

Nice Article!

 

your bias to New England

 

It is funny that you mentioned that. I noticed it too. However, I am not from New England. I live in Pennsylvania.

I think that my real bias is for history of the Revolutionary War. I love learning about the Revolutionary War. My love of history is what draws me to coin collecting.

 

I'm not found of Connecticut. I think it is boring and without imagination. I was surprised by the quality of the Delaware release and it lead to some high hopes for the series.
