Favorite U.S. Quarter designs
I am an avid coin collector, and have a running collection of all U.S. state quarters released since 1999, to current, which is Wyoming. Naturally, I think some of the designs are especially well crafted. These are my top 3:
Bronze: Missouri
Silver: South Dakota
Gold: Connecticut

Do you have a link to all the designs? Id like to comment but I forget what 1/2 of them look like. lol I did like Indiana's because of the Indy car (Im a racing fan), but then again I thought to myself "they couldnt think of anything other than the Indy 500 to put on the quarter for Indiana?"

I like the California, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, and Montana designs. I feel that the Pennsylvania design is uninspired. Ohio's quarter continues the BS that Ohio is a center of aerospace research and discovery. Ohio cannot discover its way out of a paper bag.
I usually try to force the car wash to take the Southern quarters back whenever I get them. I'll trade you Louisiana for Nebraska.

I like New Jersey, Virginia, Illinois, Nevada, and the upcoming Alaska designs. Ohio's is alright. I thought the Battle of Lake Erie would've been more fun or maybe something about the serpent mound. There are plenty of quarters I don't like, but oh well, like it really matters to that state.
