I am from the St. Louis, Mo area and am quite upset over the U. S. Mint redesign of the submissions sent in by our artist. The original design chosen by the citizens of Missouri was much more appealing than the easteregg basket design manufactered by the mint. According to a Coin World article, the author of the chosen design has 100,000 protest stickers to place on all commemorative quarters to protest the Mint's tampering with designs submitted. The article did not say how to get some of these stickers so I can join the protest. Does anyone on the forum know where they are available?
I am truly disgusted with the screwing up appealing artistic designs.

Seriously, though, the mint shouldn't have gone back and changed it if it could have been minted like the artist intended. I havn't seen a before and after, could someone post a pic? I do know i'm tired of the mint screwing things up, i.e. destroying proof sets because of "quality", $hitty Sac dollars, and promoting bad designs.

A Tax is a fine for doing good.
Seems like the mint is content to simply give the appearance of letting states choose for themselves what best represents the spirit of their people. We all know the mint knows better.
they probably made dies already.
United States Mint officials may meet with Missouri artist Paul Jackson to hear his complaints about changes made to his quarter design.
so this may mean that the squeaky wheel does get oiled!!
