Homestead 8 is my favorite, about half of them do a really job job of representing it though and would be happy with several of them.
6 is my favorite for the LA one, most of those fall short imo though 8 would be a cool design anyway.
Blueridge I like 2 the best. 6 and 7 would be better without the bird but theyre going to pick 5 I bet since its the easiest.
Bombay Hook 2 is pretty but a lot like the everglades one.
Saratoga I will buy everything possible if they pick 10. Anything with a cannon yes please, throw in an American flag at the time youve got me hook like and sinker. Ill be furious is they goon that one picking 3 which means it will be 3.

I like these a lot. When do they usually announce the winners?

Great designs! - I really like Homestead #2 because it incorporates the corn husks like the Wheat penny did with the wheat stalks. - For Kisatchie I like #6 because of the motion and the larger background showing the water and trees. - I think #8 for Blue Ridge but I'm not so keen on any of the really. I saw down below someone suggested putting a car on one of them and I agree. An older type from the 40s or 50s - I love #3 for Bombay Hook, such a great use of the space with motion and the two different birds. - #8 for Saratoga. I just like the way Burgoyne is humbly submitting his sword.

There are a few of each I wouldn't mind seeing. Just started collecting ATB I find in change. Only 3 so far currently.

I also like Homestead #8 altho a couple of others are close - I like the buildings etc in the image (which means they'll remove them).
Kisatchie #1 - but I really am not thrilled about any of them.
BRP #6 for me as well - but I have to think they can do something other than what has been presented. That said a classic roadway over a modern highway anytime.
Bombay Hook...all look like they are retreads... of other releases.
Saratoga #8 works for me... I question the validity of the flag and cannon arrangement. I think this one also needs revisited - because some of the designs are just bad.

Homestead- #7 Kisatchi- #5 (Several good ones to me) Blue Ridge- #7 (baseball21 did you just recomend taking a Cardinal off that coin? Fighting words in Eastern Missouri!)  Bombay- #1 (They all resemble Louisiana coins from the past to me) Saratoga- #9 (not sure if it will translate to a coin though)

Lol get rid of Holliday and maybe Id like them more  But really its just to random and takes up way to much of the coin for something thats just supposed to be a complementary item. Reminds me a lot of the people in the sand dunes, its like they were thinking they just have to add something else then made it as awkward as possible. If they shrunk it down and made it more a part of the design as opposed to the focal point I wouldnt have a problem with it

I think the best place for the Cardinal would perhaps be on the road... oh wait probably not PC to have roadkill on a coin :)
(ok I am a suffering Cubs fan - I had to say it).
Growing up in the mid-west I had 4 teams to choose from. Cardinals - Cubs - Royals or Twins. I opted for the Twinkies and the Cubs - at least I have celebrated a couple of times. (never considered the White Sox ever).

Kisatchie National Forest (Louisiana) - 5, 6, or 7. Blue Ridge Parkway (North Carolina) - I like them all, but 7 is the one I like most. Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge (Delaware) - 4, 5, or 8. Saratoga National Historical Park in (New York) - 1, 9, or 10.
