    Yes!!! I can't believe it actually worked! Maybe someone should start a poll asking if people prefer P or D mint coins. ha ha ha.

    Delaware because it was state where I was born, raised and earned my undergraduate degree, and there is not that much numismatic type Delaware stuff to collect




    Man you did a lot of typing without knowing whether or not this was going to work.

    Man you did a lot of typing without knowing whether or not this was going to work.

    And we probably need at least 500 people to take the poll just to get enough responses that 1 or 2 state designs show themselves as being liked more than the others.

    Here is a little factoid for you. The image of Caesar Rodney's face that appears on the Delaware quarter is an artist's conception. There are no known portraits of Caesar Rodney because he had facial cancer and was disfigured. In life he was very small in stature and was said to have an head that was about the size of man's fist.




    Yet he was a brave patriot who spent more time in the state militia as he did in the Continental Congress. The Delaware quarter design was taken from a stature that stands in Wilmington, Delaware. It depicts Rodney's famous ride when he returned from down state Delaware to break a tie vote in the Delaware delegation for independence. Rodney would sign the Declaration of the Independence.

    Yes, when I saw the Wyoming quarter for the first time, I thought that it was carousel pony.

    The more I thought about carousel pony, the funnier it got in my mind.



    Also, I really like the look of the Delaware quarter, no carousel pony here!!! image

    I'm stunned with the votes Delaware is getting. I don't like Delaware and Wyoming because so much of the field is blank. I like a coin design that fills out the field.

    As an artist I completely disagree. Clutter is what your asking for.

    I love "white space" in design.

    I really don't have a favorite but do like those that showcase animals. Not so much for the cheese, NASA. type themes.



    I think Louisiana missed the boat by not having only an alligator on theirs.

    I think California should have had a grizzly and Redwood tree.

    New Mexico should have had a majestic Elk.

    Colorado should have had a Mountain Goat.

    etc, etc.





    These are the things I think of when you mention a particular state.

    I voted for Oregon, although it's pretty much a coin flip for me between that and the Washington state one.

    Even though I live in Tn. I'm partial to the New Hampshire, Old Man design.

    I like the magnolia on the Mississippi Quarter (PCGS PR69 DCAM Silver), which represents the State Quarter in my 7070 Type Set.




    ...although the Connecticut quarter does look like a Lichtenberg Figure.
