POLL: Favorite quarter!

lclugza

Which one of these is your favorite U.S 25 cent piece?

mdwoods

I like the SLQ. Mark

Tootawl

Add another one for the SLQ.

You should add another listing to the poll for the state quarters.

The SLQ is running away with this thing! No surprise. That's a classic. I'm sure the Mint would never produce anything that interesting today. They'd complain the design's too difficult to put on a die.

lclugza

I would appreciate it if you would give me the reasons why you prefer the quarter you picked. I can see why the SLQ is so popular-- it is a very beautiful coin. (Well, the one I gave my neighbor wasn't so beautiful-- it had a one digit date! All you could see was the last digit, a "6." It was a type two so it couldn't have been a 1916).

The type 1 SLQ is one of the best designs ever on a coin, but I like my coins
to be underappreciated and this certainly doesn't aplly to the SLQ. I picked
the Washington.

I like seated coinage, but voted for SLQ...they are more beautiful than seated quarters, I think.
As posted by someone before, silver coins minted in those era are so beautiful.

I love SLQs. They just have something that draws you to them. I should really get more. I only have like a few of them.

I can't believe the BUSTY ladies aren't more popular!

Right now I love the Barbers. But when I am finished with my collection of Barber Proofs I will probably go on to the SLQ's.

There are few coins in my opinion which match the beauty of a proof Barber Quarter which has thick frosty devices and deep polished mirrors in the fields. I really like when the coin is a black and white with just a hint of golden hue. These are the pedigrees!

Hey, the SLQ is waaay in the lead! I love 'em. But I voted for the Draped Bust.

It baffles me why they switched designs from the lovely, graceful, longhaired Miss Liberty of the late 1790's to the plump, dumpy one seen in the later Bust designs. Don't get me wrong- I love the Capped Bust coins, too. But Lady Liberty is definitely a "babe" on the Draped Bust coins.

You certainly can't say that about the Classic Head and Coronet large cents!
(Although I still like those as collectibles.)

Draped bust coins were always cool!!

SLQ, IMHO you cant beat an uncirculated SLQ, especially a toned one. The design is so unique in US coinage, and on some of the toned qtr's I've seen, it's just hard to come close to the eye appeal they have and this is reflected in the prices they bring, again in IMHO.

Had to vote SLQ because Washington/State Quarter wasn't listed.

lclugza

In a few days I may run another quarter poll with the SLQ type 1 and type 2, and the Washington eagle and state reverses, separated into separate categories.

RonMan

Had to give the Washington Quarter a vote because they are all I currently have. I have been looking at a few SLQ's lately...beautiful coin...only a matter of time me thinks.

TomB

If you run another poll you should break up the Bust quarters to include the two entirely different reverses that are paired with a common obverse; the Draped Bust/Small Eagle and the Draped Bust/Heraldic Eagle.

lclugza

I didn't tell you my choice. Well, I have to agree with the majority here, it's the Standing Liberty. I especially like those "topless" ones!

Dog97

Guess!

boiler78

Dog- You and oldcameoproofsguy should get along quite nicely.

I voted and discover I am with the overwhelming majority ... no contest. Now, where is that money I was saving for a MS FH 1916?

danarchy

to think I openned the thread expecting to see all the state quarters listed.

Cam40

Hands down.Its the SLQ series.I could see a commemorative $ with this design.They did the Walker and Buffalo.Both are highly successful products.

Sorry Dog.That eagle looks like road kill.

what happen to the state quarter poll

Favorite Quarter:

it's always the one I DON'T have

tjkillian

Seated Liberty Quarter is my favorite, but I also like the draped bust, capped bust and of course the SLQ. They are all very nice quartes.

Washington quarters 1932-1964. These earlier silver coins in the Washington series still have enough relief in their design to better display the artists intent and the minting equipment was already adequate to give fairly consistent coins form year to year.

CharlieB

Like I said in the other thread regarding my numismatic hero,
"Hermon MacNeil", he gave us the most beautifully designed US
quarter ever, the standing liberty quarter. When all three types,
the relief, the overdate, the weak D and worse S strikes, missing
rivets, weak shield lines, weak upper dates, missing olive
leaves, weak chain mail, eagle's breast and pin feathers gone,
flat heads and the coin still looks fantastic and you ask
"What's my favorite quarter?".
