    Has got to be Connecticut, no other SHQ is so recognizable.
    IMO the Mississippi SHQ is too busy

    OK, flame on!!

    You are correct! It makes no artistic sense because it is so busy. Compositionally, Rhode Island is the strongest BY FAR. I'm very surprised it doesn't have more votes.....

    I like Mississippi the best, personally. It's a nice simple subject that seems very sculptural which gives it a lot of depth that's Missing in the vast majority of the SHQ designs. All of them have too many words though.

    Ah come on, what's wrong with boats? Just think, if you vote for one of the boats, you can still be 'boat'tanicalimage
    Prost!

    Why step over the dollar to get to the cent? Because it's a 55DDO.

    I like coins with boats or ships on them. The 1949 Canadian silver dollar is a shining example of this... if you're into ships then this is a must-have coin. I don't care if you ARE a collector of US coins, you MUST get a '49 Canadian silver dollar.... don't question me, just get one. Now.

    I'm sorry...I don't see New Hampshire on the list. Is my browser malfunctioning?

    Biased vote on my part since I sail under the Newport bridge at least once a week.

    As difficult as it was to get New Jersey D's here in Denver (go figure), just the sight of that coin gets me going image but I think the Mississippi is by far a much better design! You can almost smell the Magnolia's! image
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
