Arrived today at work!

My favorite is the Hawaii Volcanoes Quarter. The ash spitting up looks awesome. I wish the lava flows were a bit frosted and not just polished, but not complaining.

Great set. I really do like the fact that there are so many coins in the annual/proof sets these recent years. What, we have cent, nickel, dime, 5x quarters, half, 4x pres $1, $1 native....so 14 coins? Nice!

MadMortician, I was a little worried about how the volcanoes would look. Glad to hear you're happy.

I have a soft spot for the Maine ATB..going to be excited to see it in 3" format too!

I think the 3 remaining pucks for this year will all be stunning in the 3 inch format.

I like the ATB Quarters (I wish I'd see them in circulation), but do find the designs not as clear and easy on the eye as the State Quarters.

Itll be interesting to see how the Lava turns out on the 3 inch P version. I have high hopes for it

The ATBQs are quite tiny and requires a magnifier to see all of the details. Also have seen and thrown back a few spotted, toned ATB Quarters of late. The quality is not bas good metal-wise than the State Quarters.
