I can't image any scenario where George gets voted off the quarter. Looking forward to your future story on the birth of the Ike dollar. |

I always enjoy reading your posts on the what if coins. Like yourself, I have long found them fascinating as well as historical. Am I to asume the proposition was to be a one or two year only change? What ever the case may be, I'm happy that the dollar came about. Love those Ikes!

Should this post be in the Commemorative thread? I love reading them and almost missed it.

Replace George with Ike? I don't think so. I know which General I prefer.  That being said, I am glad it failed and allowed the most excellent Eisenhower dollar to come to be!  Quote:Looking forward to your future story on the birth of the Ike dollar.  Quote:

I placed it in this area purposely as I didn't view it as a commemorative issue - not even a circulating commemorative. I viewed it as a design change for a circulation series. I have an Eisenhower dollar post under development that will be posted over in the Commemorative Coins area due to its nature. Stay tuned! Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

This reminds me of being home sick from school and watching his funeral procession through DC on the black & white TV in my bedroom. It was broadcast live on all three channels so there was nothing else on. I was 9 years old and remember it clearly. Very solemn. They should have put him on the $10 or $20 - from my perspective nobody cares about Hamilton or Jackson.

I can't image any scenario where George gets voted off the quarter. I predict that will happen within 10-15 years, along with Jefferson off the nickel. Possibly after the semiquincentennial. |

Difficult to imagine not having George and Abe on US regular-issue coinage.

To be fair, people probably said that about the likeness of Lady Liberty on all coinage.
