United States Mint Announces New Circulating 2027 Quarter And Half Dollar Coin Program

Overall not bad, but I'll reserve my judgement until I see the designs in person. As usual, they are too cluttered for the surface area. The reverse designs are pretty good, except soccer, which looks like the kid is about to get hit by the ball.

I don't really have a desire to collect these except that my OCD compels me to keep going with modern series. I do think these could be popular with kids, more so than most coins, because they're actually relatable. So if these programs inspire the next generation of numismatists, then that would be fantastic!

The baseball girl looks like she is either going to miss the ball or knock it up and over backwards.

I do like the obverse design, but not so much for the revers sides - Does everybody really have to get a 'participation' trophy?

How about a few years for construction workers? Concrete workers, Framers, Electricians, low voltage, painters, drywallers, flooring folks, to name a few trades? We want our trophy too

The reverse of the Baseball (chain-link fence)
and the reverse of the Golf (golf ball) will probably have some crazy varieties.

I can see the Golf version having a huge chunk broken out of the ball by whatever mintage means,
and then it gets labeled the "Death Star". LOL

Snowboarding reverse looks like they re-used the dies from the AI Vermont Dollar only reversed it.

Interesting thoughts.

I quite agree, it's a bit out of control with the circulating commemorative quarters and dollars. However, it would also seem that they're nearing the point of exhausting the logical possibilities for themes on such coins in the future. After the American Innovation Dollar series wraps up in 2032, what's left that hasn't already been commemorated?

At least they've abandoned issuing new Olympics coins every time they roll around, even if they're not being hosted in the USA.

Back when this survey was being discussed, I suggested (on another forum) that everyone should log on and vote for "cricket" as their favourite sport, just to mess with the survey.

I am sad to see that my attempt at mass-subversion of American culture via an online survey did not succeed.

Although I have gathered the ridiculous redesigns from 1999 to this year.
ENOUGH. IT's DONE, FINISHED. US coin collecting has officially been murdered. Kaput, done, over.

That was hasty. I mean, coin collecting after the turn of the century.
A redesign every 2-3 months SERIOUSLY cheapens the hobby and makes it feel like a cheap crappy BS money game. Cheap.

Okay, the Statehood Quarters were kinda cool. Even TEN YEARS, of redesigns. That's special! ONCE. Not in perpetuity, for crimminy's sake.

In my view, a lack of stability does NOT lead to MY interest in collecting.
When there's a new friggin' coin design every few months, sorry, but that blows it away for me.

And yes, that has been going on for a quarter century, and yes, I've been objecting just as long. I've had it up to the gills with this B.S. and I'm content to end my collection before it began.

In direct opposition to what others have said, I believe this crap is harmful to the hobby. Gone are the days when an album covered 60 years, and now it might cover a decade. Screw it!
