Nevada quarter. Cheezy or cool?

Weiss

Did they try too hard, or is it nice?

OKbustchaser

It is one of only three or four in the series so far that I do like.

Myqqy

It's like Dr. Angus.....

What's not to like about three prancing geldings?

"Quarter Horses"

I like it but being from the Silver State I think that we should have been depicting the Comstock mine or Hover Dam or smoething the state is know for (other than gambling). I myself have never thought of wild mustangs as being widely associated with Nevada. Big horn sheep, Elk or Mule deer maybe but not mustangs.

Agreed

AZLARRY

It’s my favorite design to date.

Better than the Soviet star on the Texas quarter.

EJB

................My favorite...........I Like it......................

Oldnewbie

Yep, my favorite also.

Myqqy

The design would work perfectly on black velvet!

NumisOxide

I think it's one of the better state quarter designs out there.

Mercury

Do I think...Nevada and wild mustangs....that is a natural pair that should go together.....No

However, do I think it is one of the best looking state quarters so far?....YES!

I like it. Except for those weeds on either side, it looks nice.

As others have posted, this design may not be what many of us think about Nevada, but it is one of the cooler statehood quarter designs.

I expected Nevada might come up with one of the cheesiest designs ever, like an outline of the state map with slot machines, the Hoover Dam, or a silver miner inside. Kudos to whoever made this design or selected it instead.

Still, my indelible impression of the state of Nevada was made at age 12 when my parents drove me through the night from Bakersfield, CA to Bryce Canyon, UT. We passed through Las Vegas at 3 AM and saw all sorts of well dressed, slightly inebriated white people out on the street, nowhere near ready to go to bed.

I now teach recently released felons about computers, preparing them for the standard exam in the computer repair business. I insist on teaching them a bit of logic, and include this question on their logic quiz. It was inspired by my childhood Nevada experience and subsequent observations:

(I hope everyone from Nevada who is hard-working, honest, starving, or who has nothing to do with the Las Vegas strip will excuse this)

Consider the following premises:
*) All rich people grew wealthy because someone else suffered.
**) All contributors to the Republican Party are rich people
***) Everyone who contributes to the Republican Party is obese
****) Everyone who enjoys Wayne Newton ‘s Las Vegas performances contributes to the
Republican Party.
Which of the following can we logically conclude from these four if-then statements?
A) Wayne Newton is obese
All rich people enjoy Wayne Newrton’s live Las Vegas performances
C) People who are not obese do no not enjoy Wayne Newton’s Las Vegas performances
D) If your wealth was not made by making someone else suffer, you do not enjoy Wayne Newton’s
Las Vegas performances
E) Only/ C and D logically follow from the above four premises

Anybody who says what you said here deserves a $100 prize!!!


And no I don't like the NV 25C nor any of them except the one with Magnolias.

CCEX,

I am not from Nevada but, I think I am insulted by that question. Howver, since I am a obese Republician who does not like Wayne Newton, I will need to wait until I am sober to decide if I am offended or not.

Mercury

ER

Stupid design. Yeah, looking at the horses, and the first state that comes to mind is Nevada.

Thanks, Mercury

When we both wake up you will find that the correct response is E). (C: People who are not obese do not enjoy Wayne Newton's Las Vegas performances and If your wealth was not made by making other people suffer, you do not enjoy Wayne Newton's Las Vegas performances) These follow logically from the four given statements, as absurd as they may be. No offense intended, just the rules of logic.

I just wondered what people will assume about Nevada given the nice horsies on the quarter. This coin conjures up different impressions of the state than my personal impressions of Nevada have.

When you think of Nevada, you think of Vegas, and when you think of Vegas, you think (in accordance with how the State has used its taxpayer dollars to train us think to think) what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. The commercials are pretty suggestive and racey. I don't remember any wild horses. Horses were once wild across the Plains, I seem to recall, but Nevada? News to me.

In short, the design puzzles me because I don't get the connection. My favorite design to date is Connecticut -- I like the intricacy of the tree branches, and how the design covers most of the reverse.

Looking forward to the barrels of sperm (oil) on the Alaskan quarter.

Cheeeezey, reminds me of some little unicorn stuff that an eight year old girl would have.

Mercury

With the obese, Rebublician, Wayne Newton loving comments aside. I do really enjoy the Nevada Quarter, and I do like this design.

I live in NORTHERN Nevada. The other 50% of the state. I have pictures of my kids trying to get close to the Mustangs that live up here. They tried for about 2 years, but the stallion never did let them get closer than about 50 feet. I see wild horses at least once or twice a year from the highway of all places.

There is life in Nevada besides Vegas.

northcoin

Mustangs and Nevada? Maybe they were paying homage to the infamous "Mustang Ranch" of Nevada lore?

I have yet to see one - is it really as three-dimensional as it looks?

LastExitInNY

cool for sure

PonyExpress8

There are definitely Mustangs in Nevada. Been there and seen them personally. I like the design very much. Congratulations on one of the best quarters yet.

Those arn't weeds they're peyote

jmj3esq

I like it. The proof coins look amazing. They all seem to have very deep and clean strikes.

USCGCraig

This quarter actually harkens back to the old commem series. All of our current coinage is just so flat. The Nevada quarter looks more lifelike and I think is the best design so far until you see the grande peppermint mocha latte on the Washington Quarter. Along those lines, what could we expect to see for the Washington DC quarter? I'd guess but this is a family forum.

CoinResource

very cool.

LanLord

<< <i><> Those arn't weeds they're peyote >>



Uhh, no, Peyote is a very small button of a cactus, not a tall weedlike plant.

Weiss

<< <i>Cheeeezey, reminds me of some little unicorn stuff that an eight year old girl would have. >>



I give the props for doing something with depth and movement. But honestly, the "my pretty pony" syndrome was the first thing that struck me, too.

CoinHusker

I'm in the minority but it's a bit busy.

Nailed that one.. Best designed SHQ yet. IMO
