Some interesting comments, some inane thoughts. I agree that there seems to be a lot of similarity in some bird designs. But I love incorporating history and art in our coins.

I am very disappointed in their choice for Georgia. Having seen all of the quarters released prior to this one, I really don’t think we need another one with a bird on it. A sea turtle would have much better represented Georgia. There are nests on every beach and we take protecting them very seriously. All of the bird designs are starting to look alike…..Everglades, Bombay Hook, Kisatchie and now Cumberland Island. Someone on the team that chooses these has a bird obsession…..

MidWEST girls are the BEST… Mary Ann (from Kansas) wins hands down!

As a kid I liked both MaryAnn & Ginger. I still think about their banana cream pies! Hard to believe Dawn Wells & Tina Louise are the only cast members still alive from that funny tv show. They actually used Hollywood paper money bills on that show when showing Mr. & Mrs. Howell with all their wealth. There is even a book about Hollywood screen money, which is very collectible.

Seth,
I can’t top the Lady Li bra ty coin pun.
I’ll take that cruise as long as MaryAnn comes along.
Here we go now;
Who’s a MaryAnn fan?
Whos a Ginger fan?

I thought this was about the designs for the 2018 Pucs?
How do we get off on these tangents anyways?

Joe C. –

LOL. The Mint will limit the gold SL quarters to “one bare breast” per household! The news media will have a field day with this coin issue as they did back in 1916 getting the public riled up & making Lady Liberty wear a “bra”.

How about a coin collector cruise in your yacht? For a 3-hour tour!

Hey Robert,
I resemble that Cheesehead remark there…eh?
I say canoe, you say kayak, it’s a matter of semantics. Kind of like what the meaning of is, is. Is n’t it?
There are really nice looking designs on this set of coins. Hope I live to 2018 to collect one. I just think Pictured Rocks and Apostles Islands look a little too similar to me.
I like WI-09, if they just eliminated the dude in the yacht! Oh wait a minute, I mean the Kano-yak.
And, Joe, just where is your mind at ???

I’m originally from Wisconsin, too, and I can’t believe a native cheesehead (that’s you, Jp) can’t tell the difference between a canoe and a kayak. Also, having been to the Apostle Islands numerous times I can assure everyone that the shoreline depicted in the preferred design, WI-09, is scaled correctly. Those sea caves and cliffs are huge!!
