What if? Have you ever wondered if this portrait was used instead?

I have always considered this to be the finest bust of Washington.

1999-W Washington $G5 NGC-PF70UCAM

What if this design had been accepted for the Washington quarter in 1932?
Your thoughts?
Is it superior to Flannagan's design?(The obverse bust that we use now)
I think it is.

Looks like he has a weight lifters neck.

I think its accurate. A History Channel documentary stated that Washington was a very big man.

That is a great portrait, alright, and an elegant design. I guess I'm used to Flanagan's design, though, which I've always found powerful. I prefer the older version, though; the clad quarters look/feel like play money, and makes Washington look like he has cornrows.

My favorire Washinton design is Elizabeth Jones 82 modern commemative.
