State Quarters Vs. ATB Quarters

The people of Chicago would revolt if you put that on the Illinois quarter!

Maybe a Route 66 series?

Any way to quote posts? I am new to this forum.

I need to update my macro for the tutorial.

A Route 66 quarter series would be interesting.

Perhaps. All I can say is that Missouri can keep it all for their barbecue sauce.

So, given my wife is travelling, and I could spend some time, I sorted through containers of change I have been collecting for 20+ years. I got a lot of copper pennies (a few wheaties, one lousy Indian head), plus a few foreign coins, and a big chunk of quarters- mostly ATB and States. So I ordered the collection books for ATB and Statehood and thought just fill what I can for the fun of it. I got at least one mint mark for 32/56 (57%) ATB and some two mints, and 31/50 states plus PR (at least one mint mark, a few w/2, 61% of states + PR). I have a number of extras on mint marks too (are their trading programs on this site?). Again, this is just for the fun of it, but if they keep debasing currency, the metal value of the coins may exceed face soon (I already collect nickels and Cu pennies because this is the case).

While I appreciated the kickstart that the State Quarter series initiated, I actually prefer the ATB Quarters for one reason - I think the renderings were much better in most cases. Perhaps technologies improved? If the Mint ever decides to restart a State-themed series, I expect even nicer results.

Literally.
