    How do you do a poll?

    I think you can only create a poll when you create a thread and there will be a checkbox saying "create poll."

    As to your question, do you mean this year or overall?

    I think a few are nice--Mississippi especially... simple and elegant. Most, though, suck... especially in such low relief...

  • So far I like Missisippi the best. The latest designs are keeping me from buying anymore silver proof sets from the mint. A total lack of artistic value on the last few coins. Should I dare mention Michigan or Florida? What a shame!

    I live in Wisconsin. I think every other design looks better than ours!

  • The Wisconsin one is... different. The "FORWARD" banner is kinda lame.

    I think Connecticut's design was excellent, and the best of the bunch. As for Michigan, I wonder how long it took them to decide on that design! I can see it now. "What if...We did an outline of OUR STATE! That's so original!"
    Best,

    Some are pretty good, some not so good. image
  • Designs I like: Delaware, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Maine and Michigan.

    Designs I don't like: Pennsylvania. New Jersey, Maryland, South Carolina, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Kentucky and Indiana.

    Designs I really don't like: Georgia, New Hampshire, Vewmont, Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, Illinois, Alabama, Missouri and Arkansas.

    I have only seen pictures of Florida and will wait until I see a coin before deciding.

    Brian, I like Michigan. A look at an atlas shows Michigan is defined by it's shoreline. It would be impossible to show all the things that make Michigan great. It would be equally impossible to boil it all down to one or two elements without it looking as junky as Georgia, South Carolina, Louisiana or Ohio.
  • Most are pretty average and unexciting.

    Some of them have been pretty bad but overall I'm OK with them.
