Message:: [QUOTE="kanga, post: 487655, member: 9270"]I was putting the last of the state quarters (Alaska and Hawai'i) into my album and not surprisingly had the urge to pick out the best and worst. I decided to pick my top 5 and bottom 5.I waited until now so that I could compare all the coins; drawings are nice, but the real thing is what it's all about.Criteria:- Design appeal- Historical significance Here's what I came up with and why: TOP 5Connecticut - simple and appealing design; great historical symbolTexas - simple and elegant design; another great historical symbolVirginia - design straight to the point; great historical eventNebraska - again the design simple and to the point; historically important featureOregon - appealing design; not historically important but representative of the whole coastal geology BOTTOM 5Maryland - the state capital dome?; most states have one (unfortunately this is my home state)Indiana - an Indy car?; is that all they want to be known for?Tennessee - music is certainly important but is that all there is to the stateMichigan - state outline, and that's it?; nothing else to celebrate there?Nevada - horses?; there's a number of things I associate with this state but horses isn't one of them Other opinions more than welcome.[/QUOTE]
