I want to add this comment regarding our future as a country. If we, the nerdy adult coin collectors, cannot properly use English grammar in our comments, what does that say about our future? In a rapidly modernizing world where the greatest strength and source of advantage is to properly deploy and harness the intellect of a nation’s intellectual elite, what does it mean that we are becoming an anti-elite culture? Are we seriously incapable of expressing our opinions?

Reading these comments is terrifying…

And in my opinion, these quarters rock. I will buy a silver proof set of them, something I have not done in years, although I did buy the state and ATB quarters in the silver proof option. I only own two of the silver women’s quarters, all in PR70 slabs. My only fear is that these will not be released in silver (I only buy precious metals coins after Indian cents and V nickels).

In reply to Antonio. Totally agree. If I was a voting member... those would be my choosing. Classes first design on the reverse, and Lady Liberty with visible signed declaration document on the obverse. I think the founding father would agree.

When does this go into production vintage stage I sure wish I could have thought of the design that I have now for the independence quarter bicentennial I would like to present my ideals I do understand I believe it’s a little too late to present designs now but I would like it to be open or new designs I’m not real thrilled about any of the designs they are pretty they are nice but to me it has it doesn’t speak out bicentennial it’s locking the American flag is lacking what we were back when this all started with the 13 states now we have 52 States it doesn’t reflect what we stand for in today’s society America the old designs are out the Liberty Bell has been well used and abused it’s been abused so much that it’s cracked anyway just a little humor there the American eagle is out it’s well used and abused I shouldn’t use the word abuse because no it is not abused since well used. I would like on the reverse have the American flag design not colored but just the design and instead of putting the Stars where the square is for the state do a wave on the flag waiting with stars make it out of stars instead of a line wave that would be so awesome representing the 52 States of America that we have today and George Washington has to get off the face of the coins the offers side of the coins I would like to have the words Born Free die Free on the front as well as the United States of America Declaration of Independence circle the coin. In the middle SAY Born Free – Die Free that’s the way America should be Not born free and Die In Debt. The words E PLURIBUS UNMU HAS TO GO TOO. We need a New Beginning. YES !!!???!! I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE WORDS I , WE LOVE THIS COUNTRY. ONE THING FOR SURE WE ARE THE BRAVE BUT WE ARE NOT THE FREE

JQC,

Copy that. That design does look better with “Liberty” inside of the bell. I can’t recall if that is how it is in real life. Having last seen the “Liberty Bell” in the 1970s. But it looks better from a coin design standpoint. Maybe someone will listen to us.

Cheers

In reply to E 1. I kind of like the design with LIBERTY inside the bell. Awfully crowded this way, but. What do I no….

O8a….o9 & 10 for Rev, Chain cent tribute.
Some nice designs most of us will never see in the wild. The mint will undoubtedly jack up price$ for any rolls or bags they MAY decide to sell, but historically we will have set options I see a $25 bag of 1776-2026 quarters costing $75… easy. A roll $30
gotta squeeze every last drop of blood, oops $ from the remaining Mintaholix so the APs can get there nice % discount and )0:searches and returns for recycling to mint lemmings believing USM hype and misdirection and GASLIGHTING
