I actually mostly like the 2020 ATB Quarters

In general, the ATB quarters have been better designs than the 50 State quarters. Overall, I think they did a good job with these for next year. Salt River Creek is pretty cool, I especially like the NP of American Samoa (flying fox), and I think the Tallgrass Prairie is, dare I say, excellent. The weak one is the Vermont one, which reminded me right away of the West German 50 Pfennig and had me wondering who would plant a sapling in a rock at the base of a mature tree.

    I'll like them even better if they come in the W flavor.

    I have to admit that when I saw the American Samoa design I wanted to reach out and turn the coin upside down... :)

    I was pleased when the name 'Frank Church' didn't make it onto the last 2019 coin, and I am very unhappy that the name 'Rockefeller' will be used in 2020.

    The two 'bats' thingies may be payback for two Christian crosses being used on the 2019 San Antonio coin.

    All are decent as is the entire series of National Park 25c in my opinion.
