...but I am sure the committee will pick other designs Per a CoinUpdate article, the CFA (Commission of Fine Arts) has made the following recommendations: Pictured Rocks, Michigan: MI-08  Apostle Islands, Wisconsin: WI-09  Voyaguers, Minnesota: MN-06  Cumberland Island, Gorgia: GA-06  Block Island, Rhode Island: RI-06  The CACC will also weigh in on June 27th. |

Maybe the CACC will vote for some turtles. I kinda doubt it though.
I like the choices above but I'd rather they left the kayaker off the Apostle Islands coin if that design is selected.

Some pretty nice designs. I'm with CelticKnot, turtles make everything better.

And now we have the CCAC's recommendations. One concurs with the CFA's recommendations: Voyaguers (MN-06), so we will very likely see this on the MN 2017 quarter. The rest are different and the CCAC couldn't even pick one for Apostle Islands (WI) and has recommended that the U.S. Mint request revisions to existing designs. The CCAC selections: Pictured Rocks, Michigan: MI-12 (left). Similar to the CFA's selection (MI-08, right). I like both selections. MI-12 is closer in, less busy, and as a result has a greater percentage of empty field area, which makes for pretty proofs. I think it's interesting that even though 12 is closer in, it has less detail in the rock formation than the farther-away 08.  Apostle Islands, Wisconsin: CCAC could not arrive at a decision. CFA picked WI-09 (right). [NO WI SELECTION FOR CCAC] Voyageurs, Minnesota: MN-06. The CCAF and the CFA agree on this one. So do I. Nice design (though I could have easily lived with 4 out of 5 of the candidates). Cumberland Island, Gorgia: GA-03 (left). CFA's selection of GA-06 is on the right. The CCAC likes turtles!  While I like both designs, I'm with the CCAC on this one. We have enough ATB coins with birds already.  Block Island, Rhode Island: RI-10 (left). CFA's selection of RI-06 is on the right. I have to side with the CFA on this one. The building looks better.  |

It's incredible to think this program will be wrapping up soon and then we'll have Washington crossing the Delaware. I hope they change the obverse as well.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

So the 99 reverse for the New Jersey coin will become the reverse for the Washington quarter once the ATB finishes up? Why not go back to an image of Liberty on the obverse, since you will have Washington essentially on the reverse, and what about an eagle? |

I know I will be in the minority but I do not like the turtles on coins. I vote for any other design.
