rohumpy Valued Member United States 164 Posts	Posted 02/17/2008 05:49 am Does anyone know how to find who designed each of the State Quarters? There are initials of mint engravers (I presume) on the reverses. There are many repetitions and I don't think that the same person designed multiple quarters. I have read that the designs must be approved by state officials--Governor?-- but I can't find any source which names the designers. Any thoughts on the matter from anyone? Thanks. Ron H.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/17/2008 10:49 pm A controversy arose with the Missouri quarter and the design selection process was changed as a result. Currently, only a theme is submitted, not an actual design. The Mint engravers translate that theme into a design. Daniel Carr also designed the Maine quarter but it was later altered. http://www.pauljackson.com/Quartergate.pdf http://www.coinworld.com/news/090202/editorial.asp Report this Post to the Staff
