What’s your favorite modern quarter?

I gotta pick the 2021 Washington crossing the Delaware quarter. It’s the highest relief since before the stage quarters, and she is the last of the last “old school” obverse that your grandpa liked so much…

I have a single clad quarter slabbed (other than an OGH PR70):

I hope they go back to the 2021 design after the American woman series. We haven’t had the same design for 2 years in a row since 1998.

While I like the 2021 obverse, the new one is really starting to grow on me. Just not a fan of the different reverse images.
What is your idea of "modern".

True, they look more like tokens/medals.

I would imagine the Laura Gardin Fraser obverse paired with the Crossing the Delaware reverse would be amazing if it could be struck correctly.

Not counting the ones that I modified by over-striking, this is my favorite modern quarter because I cherry-picked myself in finding it, and it is the rare 1970-D "Type-H" proof hub reverse (and I think it is possibly the highest grade known):
Way better than the spaghetti hair I say.

Hang on to your hat, the mint is just getting started for wild ever-changing quarter designs. You want the same dependable design for awhile?? First up after the women's series finishes is the SEMIQUINCENTENNIAL designs. Lets celebrate 250 years with old and new throwbacks. Then the quarters will go through a SPORTS run. Didn't you enjoy the baseball and basketball coins?? Wait till you see the badminton and golfing quarters!!! Then after those finish, there's a tribute to men with beards. Then the children's series, state birds, wild animals, bugs, games, and foods. Actually, not sure what's up after the SPORTS run...but your guess is as good as mine!!!!
Cupronickel coins, from 1965 to date, are the ones that I would personally consider, "modernn" quarters.
I like the gold type.

I love the metallic finish reminds me of my old black and gold 280 ZX. 7+ or 8?
Agree. The 2016 gold Standing Liberty Quarter commemorative is a very neat coin.

DC- This must be the one you were talking about. 👍🏻

I consider any clad-type to be considered "modern". I have not been a fan of the "themed" quarter designs and would refer back to the 1998 and before design.

It's that doubled die reverse on the District of Columbia quarter. Sell me yours.
I find it interesting that we're considering "modern" design to be one that is over 50 years old.
I like the new portrait by Laura Gardin Fraser paired with the Maya Angelou reverse personally.

That's one hippie quarter!

Personally, I think all of the Washington obverses are kinda meh, but my favorite new reverse is the Delaware Crossing; it has a vibe kind of like the reverse of the bicentennial Washingtons.
Currently this one.
However I do have some post 1964 quarters currently at PCGS being graded. There are some very eye appealing coins in that submission that may cause me to change my mind.
What was that eBay seller who had many like that? was it edynamatics?

@Joe_360 - You have plans to have any of those graded?

2023 Jovita Idar here as well. Looks especially good in proof.
I’m not familiar but i’m thinking about cracking out some of my 67‘s and putting them in old souvenir and mint set containers to try and create some natural toning in hopes of grabbing that plus.
I don’t have much to lose seeing how I’m going to either crack or resubmit anyway.
Yes, same coin.
I like the Wyoming. The new ones cause George to foam at the mouth a lot.
The bat will go down in lore.
All of my favorite quarter designs are modern, that is from 1999 until today. Catch is, it has to be an eye appealing major error coin.
Way too many examples to post.
I like the Anna May Wong quarter and Washington crossing the Delaware. But as far as the Obverse, I'm done with Dead Presidents.

I tend to think of anything past the 1964 as modern.
Here are a few from a time bygone …
Thanks to all - love the thread
Probably this one, although I do like the Connecticut State quarter design.
If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

Normally not my cup of tea, but I saved this picture from an eBay seller who made no bones about it being AT. I bid a few bucks, but bowed out at $10. Forget what it sold for. But it is pretty imo.

I have been searching for any of those DDO’s while roll searching quarters the last few years. To no avail have I run across one. Many many others that I have found. I don’t sell my quarters though. Actually I haven’t sold any of my finds.
The 1981-S Type 2 Silver is very undervalued and overlooked as a Latter Day Saint key coin. IMHOP
