commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12267 Posts	Posted 12/03/2022 12:11 pm I'm in the camp that doesn't like the Jovita Idar design - at all! I'm not a fan of the current "Word Art" on coins design trend - the US is not the first to issue a coin using it. I find it very distracting and unappealing. When you consider the relatively small size of the US quarter - the words are going to be small and difficult to read for many. I also don't think "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and the coin's denomination should be blended into her dress with her personal accomplishments. They are not hers alone.

They are not hers alone Interesting comment, COMMEMS. There was actually a candidate design below with the same main design but the USA and E Pluribus Unum was separate but also blended into the dress, yet they didnt chose that one. I guess you can try to look up the ccac meeting notes for that apr 2022 meeting to see if that was discussed. It is possible to contact CCAC if you ever find something like that in advance of their meeting to choose from candidate designs. Members of the CCAC recommend proposed coin and medal designs to the Treasury secretary for final approval. The advisory panel also considers proposed themes for U.S. commemorative coins which you are greatly into as well, and so perhaps they may consider your opinion (should you not wish to apply to fill a CCAC vacancy).

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12267 Posts	Posted 12/03/2022 4:17 pm @datadragon: The design you've shown would be preferable, but I still don't think much of the "Word Art" approach. As far as the CCAC goes, thanks for bringing up some of its functional details. I have shared my thoughts with it, on occasion, in the past. I'm glad it's in place - I believe it helps keep the artistic quality of United States coins and medals high, Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95629 Posts	Posted 12/03/2022 5:12 pm I'm in agreement here - the JI quarter just makes me want to hurl. Collecting since 1972.

datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 12/03/2022 5:38 pm Here is another image of the JI quarter from the US Mint site. (click the square on the image to blow it up fullscreen).https://www.usmint.gov/coins/coin-m.../jovita-idar Personally I dont think it looks bad, only that without the added mottos on the blank spaces as in the other proposed design that wasnt used, it looks on first glance more like an obverse design to me than a reverse and a bit out of place when viewing among the other reverses. Looks like the reverse design is from John McGraw, and the other credits for other coins are listed here https://www.usmint.gov/learn/artist...-john-mcgraw I just read the CCAC recommendation and sure seems they are completely on a different level with that design than the comments here @Dearborn: One persons Hurl is another persons Coin of the Year Quote: CCAC: The third reverse portfolio honored Ms. Jovita Idar, a famous Mexican American journalist, activist, teacher, and suffragist, who devoted her life to fighting against segregation and injustice and who believed education was the foundation for a better future. Ms. Elizabeth Lopez, and Ms. Martha Aki, great nieces of Jovita Idar, joined the CCAC during the discussion of these designs. While the candidate designs prompted a lengthy discussion with a wealth of comments from the Committee, reverse design JI-R-08, received the highest score with 26 out of a maximum of 33. CCAC members shared comments that from their experience and expertise, this design had the potential to receive the honor of coin of the year due to the uniqueness of the design, especially for a circulating coin. Design JI-R-08 portrays Ms. Idar with her hands clasped, and on her dress are the names of the newspapers for which she wrote. The text also includes her great accomplishments in life along with the required inscriptions @Commems, yes since 2003 the CCAC serves as an informed, experienced and impartial resource to the Secretary of the Treasury and represents the interests of American citizens and collectors so I guess it depends on the representatives and current vacancies as to how they do.

ckrakowski Pillar of the Community 979 Posts	Posted 12/03/2022 10:17 pm Counting down on the images. I hate how the denomination is on the second one. It is Quarter Dollar, not 25¢ What the heck is the fourth one? It is a jumbled mess. Please tell me that these are not the final designs. I am so glad and thankful I am not collecting these. If that is what will be on the coin it will end a 184 year streak. The last time 25¢ appeared on a quarter was 1838. Report this Post to the Staff
