Best Statehood Quarters

[CoinCrusader42]

Several of the Statehood Quarters have had great designs.

My favorites to this point are:

Nevada
Rhode Island
Colorado
Oregon
Nebraska

I am kind of partial to Nebraska for its historical aspects and really like North Dakota (eye appeal), Kansas (buffalo) and Massachuttes (history). Actually its quite sad that NONE of them are outstanding designs that stand out above the rest. Will wait other year for the final vote for the best in the series!

Well as a collector of the State Quarters I find them all great.

It is just that some are greater than others.

[Madspec]

I agree that they are all great but some are better than others.

My favorites are the Connecticut Charter Oak, and the Kansas buffalo.

[CoinCrusader42]

I should have added Connecticut to my original list.

It is a very nice design.

The Colorado Statehood quarter is my favourite

Now Greg have you given the Indiana Indy race car a real good look? The pioneers were racing through Indiana to get to all that gold out west and only the ones who did not have a pit crew in Indiana got stuck here! Tons of real pioneer history in that coin!
And I might add the U.S. Mnt program would not allow a basketball image, as Indiana is well known for its pioneer basketball played by the pioneers whose race cars broke down here, so they had the image removed from consideration as it was considered Sports? The U.S. Mint also would NOT allow a private business image to be used in the program so could some one please tell me HOW DID INDIANA end up with a race car (sports event) from a private owned business on their quarter?
Did the Governor, at the time, sell us out or just sell us short? The old saying "Money Talks" is more than evident here?

Or how about Ohio and North Carolina each claiming they were first in flight with the Wright brothers aeroplane on each quarter?  The Michigan quarter had a small automobile that was obviously a Model T, a commercial affair produced by the then admirer of National Socialist Germany, Henry Ford.  They did manage to keep the Mormon off the quarter in Utah and watered it down to the meeting of the UP RR with the SP RR at Promontory.  But then the Beefalo made appearances on the NoDak and Kansah quarters, ala the Wright Bros aeroplane again.

And we don't want to forget the buffalo played a major part in the expansion west not to mention it was used as a weapon of war which almost put them on the extinction list!  I will agree it has been more than interesting seeing just what it takes to make the grade in many states and who does indeed wield the sword of power (in the form of money and lobbying) in those states! Sure a lot went on behind the scenes in many a state office building!

Delaware has a real revolutionary feel to it

Terry as per car racing I do not know, but the US has a fantastic history, prior to car racing I would suspect. It mind boggling with Australia with a population of 21M to see the population of NYC at 19M.   

[Twoshadows]

Just to show how good of sports we are you can have New York City! Please come and get the whole kit and kabooddle as soon as possible. Your population will almost double, the government will increase the tax rolls and you will have enough taxi cabs to last a life time and we know you have the space for them right in the center of your country! Its all free, just come and get it!

  Perhaps, we'd need to see how to get it here but.
