Homestead and Saratoga are WEAK
Bombay hook is basically a replica of Everglades.
I love this series but good grief, 2015 is the worst yet

Kind of reminds me of the reverse design of the 2011 Native A. dollar. My question is why were designs that don't actually show a depiction of the national park chosen. So far all of them depicted the actual scene that could be seen at the national park, but Homestead and Saratoga's designs are more symbolic than realistic (as to the actual look of the national park). |

Call me odd, I like the Homestead design.  They are all okay. I really like the Blue Ridge Parkway, but Bombay Hook has the chance to look "washed out" on actual coin. |

I like the designs, but I want to wait to see them on a coin. What looks good as a large graphic may not look good when its on a quarter.

You know, I am honestly not a big fan of a few of the designs.
But, I love the series and I'm sure I will like these more with time.
It's interesting to note all the trends throughout the set... And hearing everyone's reactions to the design.

I agree the Homestead is a downgrade form the upper tier as of late ATB designs. I still like it  The Bombay Hook DE is a rip off of the 2014 Great Sand Dunes design. The only clear winner is the Blue Ridge Parkway. I've been to the Smokies more than once and rode the Dragon but never rode the Blue Ridge Parkway. On a side note the Mont Rushmore is a great design and I've been there and rode that and Crazy Horse was better but all of the Mount Rushmore I have found in circulation appear to be a high relief design and the nose is the first to go and to accumulate grunge from circulation. This is the sleeper for your UNC collection.  Edited by jack jeckel

i wish they would show some consistency here, they put beautiful scenery on most of them then once in a while a few will look like the State Quarters with some symbolic things on it. otherwise I love them. blue ridge parkway is going to look stunning! |

I love the Homestead design !  The barn and corn look so nice and the design captures the beauty and essence of Nebraska in such a simple way.. its endearing.... Edited by DaytR
