I kinda like that design. Do we have a trains on any other coins? I can't think of any.
Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.

    I think the Utah is my favorite quarter design.
    Plus I am kind of a part time train admirer, especially steam.

    I like the Utah quarter. I think much of the credit for it goes to Bob Campbell.
    I was hoping for this design on the Nevada quarter:

    My design that I submitted for the Illinois quarter had a big ol' Rock Island steam locomotive barreling across the prairie. Had I put Abe Lincoln in the cab, it might have worked.

    The Utah quarter is definitely one of the better SHQ designs. It's one of my favorites.

    Hmmmm, I really am not that thrilled with the Utah quarter..... The spike looks like the Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas to to me. A lot of us in UT thought the quarter should have "Delicate Arch" on it.

    Love the design. Just bought P and D 100 coin bag. I only do this for the ones I like like the Montana.

    Nice coin. I also think that Arizona will be a great one in 2008

    I think ALbania did a train coin a few years ago.

    I am sure you will get some comments on that Arizona quarter. I would recommend you delete that quick.

    I totally agree since Arches National Park is totally awesome! However I don't think a National Park Theme would have been acceptable. If so, wouldn't Wyoming have put Old Faithful or even the Grand Tetons on their reverse instead of that "Flat Cowboy"?
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
