Kisatchie, hands down in my book. Simplistic design, worked well on quarter size, made for an attractive 5-ounce puck.

I live in Charlotte, so my vote is a little biased.  |

I live in SC and the our quarter comes out next year, so I was a little biased as well.  |

No. I would rather put that money towards the last three dollars in my 7070.  But, never say never. Three years ago I would have never bought the C&C sets. |

Looks like North Carolina is going to run away with this crown. |

Tough call. I liked them all besides Saratoga. Homestead is different from any other puck... but aesthetically, I had to go with BRP.

Blue Ridge Parkway is defiantly really nice! Probably my 2nd favorite!

I guess you can say that my vote is a little biased as well since I live in NC and use to visit the BRP when on vacation with the family. All that aside, it is the best design in my opinion.

Living nearby aside, I would probably still choose it if I still lived up north.

I really like the ATB Quarters, I've collected four sets so far, two Circulated sets of the best ones I can find in circulation and two Clad Proof sets to give to the kids or grandkids at some point. The circulated sets are random mint marks, I don't even check I just need a good example. I have no illusions of them being valuable, I just think they're cool :-)
I think for 2015 Kisatchie really stands out. I like all the others though but Kisatchie always catches my attention. I also like Bombay Hook but it looks too much like the 2014 Everglades coin and I always get them mixed up.
I think the ATB quarts are really nice looking though reading through old posts I hear a lot of collector fatigue comments because they collected the State Quarters and my guess is they are completists that need to have everything but no one says you have to get EVERY quarter that's released, P, D, S Proof, Clad, 5oz puck etc...
I've even read comments about the ATB Quarters being ugly and to me that's just sour grapes. They're (for the most part) beautiful. That sounds like someone that collected the State Quarters and it now tired of collecting because personally, I thought the State Quarters were dull and not very inspired and even bordering on ugly... The designs were not really even designs, it's like they were forced to do the best they could because they were required to fit a few disparate objects on the back of the coin that represented each state. Florida is a great example (or I should say one of the worst) it looks like a child's collage.. "Hmm, what represents Florida? We have a Space Shuttle, a palm tree and a boat!! Oh and put some text on there too" Granted some of the State Quarters are decent looking but for me, far too many of them are poorly designed.
I think what helps the ATB Quarters is that they are depicting a scene rather than trying to fit in all the things that represent a state... I also like the ring they put around the edge, looks nice. Looking forward to the next few years :-)
