<p>[QUOTE="Mr. Coin Lover, post: 573337, member: 16060"]What you posted I have had a lot of thoughts on myself. I have come to the conclusion the US quarter has become and will remain for many years a coin that will introduce many people to the "world of coin collecting". Many beginners and others as well will collect these quarters while many "veteran" collectors will snub there nose at them. I say to both whatever. As far as things like Beanie Babies fads have always come and gone, I'm sure this will continue.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm more concerned about our coins only having dead presidents on them. I'm also concerned about the mint making Native American and Presidential Dollars at the the same time that apparently noone wants. To me the quarter is almost a "breath of fresh air" to our current circulation coinage.</p><p> </p><p>As for Lincoln he is as far as I know always voted as the best and most popular President. It is obvious he is going to on the obverse of the cent as long as it is around. So I'm glad after 50 years the reverse is going to change, I'm just very very concerned they are going to mess up the reverse. Going through two committees to make a decision it will probably get too crowded or busy. I'm hoping for something simple, tasteful, and elegant.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would love to see us change all the obverse coinage. I keep hoping another T. Roosevelt will come along. I would love for our coinage have obverses as beautiful as standing liberty, walking liberty, and etc. Not a repeat of these, but a repeat of the beauty and elegance we had at once upon a time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
