Does anyone know what happens with the quarter once the state quarters are done? Will we get the old design again or something new?

OK I found it
Now if the mint could drop the past and step into the futher, and give us coins that excite collectors like this it would in my opion be interesting. We do not need to go back to George and the Eagle.
may i suggest the obverse of the SLQ and the reverse of the walking lib half?
oh yeah, it has to be 90% silver `cause it just wouldn`t look right in clad

Why would you want to use old designs? Suppose they thought that way in 1916- instead of the walking liberty half and standing liberty quarter, we'd have had a second round of seated liberties.
You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

because everything they have made since then has been CR@PPY designs???

So we should just give up and admit that it's not possible to do better?

If artists were given the freedom today that they were given back then, I'm sure they could do it. As long as people keep insisting on rehashing those old designs, though, it's not going to happen.
How many versions of the buffalo nickel or walking liberty half or St. Gaudens double eagle will be enough?
continue to feature Washington.
On January 23, 2007, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 392 extending the state quarter program one year to 2009, to include the District of Columbia and the five U.S. territories large enough to merit non-voting Congressional representatives: Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the United States Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. This bill now awaits Senate approval; similar bills have passed the House in previous Congressional sessions, but all have died in Senate committee. [2]

Well, there's that, too. One thing that Mr. Weinman and Mr. St. Gaudins and Mr. McNeil didn't have to deal with was the need to strike a bajillion examples of their art. Every year.
I must say that I am disappointed that we may have to deal with this program for another year.
<< <i>Mint director Moy keeps talking about this "neo-Renaissance" of coin design. There's a thread with an article link and commentary here. My guess is that the spaghetti-haired Washington will be retained and the 1998 eagle will be lowered in relief further for the reverse. I hope I'm wrong. >>
I still don't know what Moy meant by that.
This design, both obverse and reverse are far superior in my opinion.
<< <i>The SAC is a beautiful coin??...someone please tell me that is a joke.
The Sac, both obverse and reverse, is far and away the most beautiful coin the US Mint has produced for circulation since 1947. I can't understand why anyone would find it ugly.
Compared to the Presi Dollars these are georgous! Although that kid sure has a BIG head!
1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

Territorial reverses will be used in 2009.
I hope that the Mint uses a different obverse for the 2009 quarters than they did for the 1999-2008 ones, just to emphasize that they are not a part of the Statehood quarter series. They could use a portrait of the architect who designed Washington, DC for the obverse.
