Although I live in Ohio and am kind of happy with our state quarter....I think the best design is .... North Dakota

Website with all the designs and proposed designs

I don't really have a favorite, I like the one they picked for Alaska, one of the Arizona ones being proposed, and Utah's seem spretty cool with the trains, but I have to see them on a coin first.

Of the produced coins, Maine and Rhode Island always seemed nice and tranquil to me. North Dakota is nice and Nevada as well.

Ooh geez, I agree with Zoins, poll would have worked better

Not sure which I like most but the best two years by far are 2005 and 2006 where there is only one design I don't like.

New Jersey, best by far.

Connecticut is a pleasant design to my eyes.

Alaska will be a contender if it transfers to the coin well. There have been several sketches that looked promising but the coins turned out to be, well, meh...

through 2005

Connecticut has always been my favorite. A frosty proof camero... gorgeous.

NEW HAMPSHIRE!

Because they immortalized something that was not immortal.

CT's quarter (and the older commem) have a soft spot in my heart because one of my direct ancestors (my 11x-great grandfather) was governor of Connecticut during this hide-the-charter affair.

It's really not a bad set even if there are some pretty mediocre design. At least they do seem to
represent a whole.

It will be interesting to see how they wear over the years. I'm sure some will become quite stately.

Oregon, Maine, and Rhode Island are some of my favorites. Each is beautiful scenery, not clip art or state outlines, and very evocative of the state.

Michigan and Texas remain the worst, although the forthcoming New Mexico design looks like a loser, too.

ArgentumRex · April 25, 2007 6:16AM

I've always liked New Hampshire. I think the design fills the space nicely. It's a non-potpourri design. It looks like what it's depicting without being hampered by the constraints of the low relief. I'm just looking for reasons, really. I don't know why I like it; it just agrees with me.

I also like ipmman's observation.

I'm partial to the Nevada design. It's really sharp looking.

Some SQ designs look much better as proofs than uncircs-some of the simpler designs in particular, such as TX, GA, OR and CT, IMO.
VT, NV and CO are my faves in business strikes.

Question prompted me to pull them out and look at them together-haven't done that in quite some time.

I like the First flight commem half and dollar-but the wright flyer on NC and OH quarters (different airplanes for those into aeronautical trivia-the OH design depicts the 1905 version of the flyer known as the "flyer III"-it had larger control surfaces c/w the original flyer)
are too small and busy for my taste.

Michigan and Texas remain the worst,

Texas has the Soviet star on it, but that's not as bad as Lousyana's pelican!
