I don't usually look at a lot of quarters but just noticed the 2022 that George is now facing to his left. Was this done for some special reason that I didn't read about?

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19197 Posts	Posted 06/30/2022 07:30 am It's a design change based on a submission when the Washington quarter was first being considered. govemint.com -- "The obverse of the American Women's Quarters program will continue to feature George Washington. However, the traditional George Flannagan design will be replaced by a design of Washington that Laura Gardin Fraser created in 1932! Gardin Fraser was one of the most prolific female sculptors of her time and today is praised for both her numismatic and sculptural work." Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97087 Posts	Posted 06/30/2022 07:53 am These new quarters are about the women of the US. So why not use a design of Washington that was made by a woman as well. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

I thought the design was created by a new modern sculptor. An interesting solution. It is unusual to adopt a new design 90 years after its creation. Report this Post to the Staff
