    Nice looking design. I think it will look really great as a proof.

    Excellent design y'all are passing on to the mint engravers who will magically turn it into a state outline.

    That's a great design, I just hope the mint doesn't butcher the design like they did with Missouri's design.image

    Hooray! No stars or outlines! A real design, and a nice one -- very evocative of Maine. Nice job, Downeasters!

    I hope it survives intact.
    I dread to see how the mint technicians butcher it.
    The most money I made are on coins I haven't sold.

    I love that design, when I lived in NE, I loved the Maine coast, especially Arcata NP.

    Like one said before`Ships on coins,how can you go wrong`
    BTW,dispite the huge mintage of the Virgina 25c,thats the coolest design yet for me.

    That was my pick of the four shown in CW last week. Looking forward to finding a nice example for my State Quarter board.

    From my understanding the mint already modified the original artwork of the four finalists. The artist who designed the top right quarter didn't like how the mint changed it.

    Cool - That's the one I voted for too... a few times...

    I, however, live in Texas, a state that copped out and went with one of the most boring designs on record. State outline, the lone star design and the quote "Lone Star State" (as if the pic didn't already communicate that). With all the culture in the state, there was a treasure trove available for the design. Heck, I would be happier with a prarie dog and an armaillo on there.

    I voted for that one too!

    Finally, a creative, interesting, memorable state quarter design (unlike a certain large southern state, that decided to put a stupid star over the stupid outline of the state).

    Congrats to MaineT That one's a keeper, and a star of the series.

    Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

    I voted, this was not my first choice, but it is still a nice design. Like others have mentioned, at least no state outline. Can't wait to see it. mdwoods

    Heh......well, copied from that other coin or not, I like the design...............anyone else notice that the designs are getting better the further they get into the program........some of the early ones really sucked.

    The image that was voted on is a sketch by a US Mint artist. It has already been reviewed and approved by everyone in Washington, and most of the people in Maine, apparently. I doubt that it will be revised before being coined.

    The winning US Mint sketch was based upon my design.

    Truely one of the best SQ's so far. That would be awsome in a DC on a silver proof.
  • newbiecollectornewbiecollector Posts: 2,992
    HEY!!
    That is the design I voted for on another thread.
