Nebraska quarter design "dreadful" by mint artists

I was really disapointed reading this article tonight. Omaha World Herald article

First the football team and now the state quarter design is bad too. Not a good year for Nebraska.

I kinda like the Chief Standing Bear design - I hear the kansas quarter is a replica of the buffalo nickel, somewhat.

I do too now. I liked one with Chimney rock but not after seeing what the mint suggest it look like. I like what the guy said about the designs looking like something from a coloring book.

It'll just go into that category of laughable states and laughable designs, like Wisconsin, Iowa, and Alabama.

Edited to mention: the Standing Bear is the best, but will never fly with "Equality before the Law."

Very few of the statehood quarter designs actually have any artistic merit, and none of them are fantastic. Artistically the whole series is a big belly flop. Some worse than others.

I agree that most of those suck. I like the standing bear design best, but find it unbearably ironic that a design would incorporate a native american and the words "equality before the law"..... maybe that should read "equality before the law.... if you're a white male".......

For every person that dislikes a coin design, there is one that will like it.

How many designs and years of time would they have to spend until they got one that everyone agreed to??

I like the Chimney Rock or the Chief. Both decent designs. Could have been a lot worse.

one of those looks familiar to me for some reason.

I agree with that newspaper -- those designs really bite it. Hey, what ever came of the 50-state quarter design race on this forum? What are the standings?
