Do you think the States that had a longer lead time came up with better designs for their quarters?

Look at the designs by year or groups of years. quarterdesigns.com
While I think there are winners and losers in each year or groups, I think the body of work from say 2005-2008 as a whole is much more impressive to me than say the body of work from 1999-2001. I think the later states had the benefit of listening to the complaints and lessons of the states before them and learned from the mistakes.

ricko, I dunno about that. Here in Missouri, we have 3 guys in a Keelboat that looks like a rubber raft, floating in a (river?) with giant broccoli on both sides. One of them does have a coonskin cap on, though.
I knew it would happen.
I like 80% of the designs, though. Many are very creative with designs that truely represent the essence of their state.
Where do you think that a set of the silver proofs will be in say 10 years. Not much greater of a premium than now?

Too much vignettes and not enough single image reverses.
The designs have become cluttered in some cases and too politically correct in most.

the longer lead times as much as the criticism of the earlier issues leading
to improvements.
some states had taste. NH did not.
