5 designs for Nebraska Quarter head to the Mint.

I guess the voting is over on the Neraska Quarter. 5 designs were picked and are being sent to the Mint for them to pick one out. Link to story


I have a funny feeling it's going to be the one of the state capitol. Yuck!

IMHO the Chimney Rock and covered wagon is by far the best.

I also like the one on the left on the bottom...

I like the one on the top left. Why are images of Chimny rock so different on a couple of the coins? Does it look that differently from different angles?

mintluster

I like the one on the top left also. But they are all better than the one with the state outline.
Even states who have never been known for a unique state outline (like Texas or Florida for example) are including designs with state outlines. It is truly amazing. They almost all look like total crap.

Top left is best

Just a guess, but I think one image may be portraying Chimney Rock 100 years ago, the other a more comtemporary image of the rock. Erosion has been taking it's toll.

As you can guess I'm a little bias in my choice. The one with Chimney rock and wagon...besides it looks a lot like my icon!

Covered wagon looks the best IMHO.

All others a distant 2nd

except the state outline, a very distant last...

which is why they'll pick that one for the design

I think it is funny that Nebraska is trying to make it look as if it not actually flat, at least by western standards, with most of the designs.

I prefer either the top left or the top middle coin.

I think someone entered a design of flat prairie, with nothing but grassland to the horizon but it was rejected. wonder why?

The mint will choose the sower, minus the sower. Only the state outline will remain.

Well so far of those that have expressed an opinion Chimney Rock with the covered wagon is winning 8 out of 8 with the Chimney rock/capitol/indian second with 3 out of 4 votes for second place.

I'l add my vote of Chimney Rock/wagon top choice (9 out of 9), but for second I like the rock/capitol design. (nicely balanced and an interesting cortrast of the natural spire and the man-made one. I think the indian on the bottom left one just adds clutter.) So for second the bottom left is now 3 out of 5. The state outline is still dead last.

No B-52?

All the rest are as good as IL.

I have to go with the majority on the covered wagon. A nice design. I agree the design with the Indian looks covered. But I saw a drawing of this design earlier, and it looked much better. I think it would depend on the final engraving and how they could balance it out by reducing some images, etc.

At least the final selections do not have a cow's head like Wisconsin?!

tincup

ok, ok... my spelling sucks when I am in a hurry! I meant to say the design with the Indian was crowded, not covered!!

khayse

I like both the top left and bottom left.

Sorry sower. Ugh. Also don't like just the capitol building.

Put me down for upper left as well. The rest are abysmal, especially the SO one.

Darkhorse

The one on the upper left is the least fugly.

Of course the final design probably won't anything like any of these. Remember the mint engravers will not see ANY of these designs. All of them have to be submitted as WRITEN descriptions, NO ARTWORK.

(Chimney Rock/wagon is at 13 for 13 now.)
