Have You Seen The Wyoming Quarter?

Most of my childhood was spent in Wyoming. I suppose they could have gone for fancier designs, but the choice of the bucking horse is a safe choice. It's a well-established icon for the state, perhaps the strongest of all state icons.

The UW athletics site has a nice discussion of the two variations of the bucking horse image:

The coin depiction should be of horse named "Deadman" rather than "Steamboat" since the coin matches the license plate image.

Other things I would have liked to have seen on the Wyoming quarter:

Nellie Tayloe Ross, especially since she was the first female director of the U.S. Mint.
Fort Laramie, which is more specific to Wyoming than the Oregon Trail
The Teton Range, even though most of the people who live within sight of it are transplanted millionaires.

I think it would have been better with detail rather than just a silhouette.

We live in western Colorado, and have not seen the Wyoming quarter yet.

Yes, we (wife and I) got a couple as gifts at a NAJA Shrine function.
