Not sure why they keep motioning the "Constitution" on the quarter designs. Yeah, my guess is that the artist(s) failed civics.

Ah. Thank you for the clarification, Alpha. I missed those details.  |

In fairness, OP has only the Constitution ones. I could swear the other designs were discussed here at the time, but I can't find the thread.

The only design I really like is the O-03 for the dime. The rest, meh.
Just resurrect some Gobrecht, Longacre, or Morgan designs instead of commissioning new ones. There's some great history there that would be extremely fitting for America's 250th Birthday.

I can't say that I would be excited if they just repeated old designs. Let's see something new.

There are some interesting designs for the quarter, but I wonder how they will look on a quarter.

Hopefully as good if not better than the renditions as they typically do.  |

Thanks for the post. I kept hearing things about the new designs but never looked into it.
I think my favorite is the O-03 dime and the A reverse. I do like the O-02 quarter and the O-05 half obverse but I'm not a fan of any of the reverse designs.
As others have said though seeing what the look like on the coins will be a whole other matter.
Any word on what types of strikes they will be doing. I imagine business of course and proofs but what about mint marks and composition.

The designs have been narrowed down significantly. I would expect we will see the final designs some time this summer.

I mean if you are celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, you need to recall that the Articles of Confederation were not approved by the Continental Congress until 1777 Quote:
The Articles of Confederation were adopted by the Continental Congress on November 15, 1777. This document served as the United States' first constitution. It was in force from March 1, 1781, until 1789 when the present-day Constitution went into effect. https://www.archives.gov/milestone-...onfederationThe Continental Congress' authority was pretty questionable. Quote:
Over a period of 15 years, from 1774 to 1789, the Continental Congress underwent a profound evolution. Starting out as a temporary group that met to address American colonists' issues with British rule, it morphed into the de facto government of the 13 colonies, and ultimately into an official governing body of the United States. https://www.history.com/articles/wh...s-accomplishThe key date for the 2nd CC? May 10, 1775 - that's right, arguably last Saturday was the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, when a body convened to determine how to fight a revolutionary war that was already underway. Quote:
The Congress faced the task of conducting a war already in progress. Fighting had begun with the Battle of Lexington and Concord on April 19, and Congress needed to create an official army out of the untrained assemblage of militia laying siege on Boston. -----Burton 50 year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, OnLine Coin Club Owned by four cats and a wife of 40 years (joined 1983) |
