akdrv Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 The Alaska Commemorative Coin Commission is seeking your comments on the four final designs for the Alaska commemorative quarter. The new state quarter is part of a 10-year program started by Congress in 1999. Coins are released every ten weeks in the order states were admitted to the union. Alaska was the 49th state admitted to the union in 1959. Hawaii followed shortly thereafter. The back side of each quarter honors that state. The Alaska Commemorative Coin Commission submitted five narrative designs to the United States Mint. Final designs were selected based on aesthetic beauty, historical accuracy, appropriateness and coinability. The four final designs are: http://www.sitnews.us/0407news/041007/0410...ka_quarter.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt-AWACS Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I'd rank them: 1st: ak2 2nd: ak1 3rd ak4 4th: ak3 At first I thought ak2 was a bit "crowded" but it grew on me when I think of my times staying in Alaska. Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns, Capt-AWACS, Not all aviators are alcoholics, we don't go to meetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 For me: 1st: Ak3 2nd: Ak3 3rd: Ak4 4th: Ak1 None of them hit the nail on the head for me. I see Alaska as a wilderness with forests, broad tundra plains, and mountain ranges with glaciers NOT only ice burgs and the iditarod. I think the gold rush was an important event but not one that sums up the state well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Being one that has been awed by Alaska's marvelous wonders, I like them all. But I like AK-3 the best. I cannot wait to visit AK again sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merovingian Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Oh yeah, this is my kind of topic. I guess it's time for an update, though. Apparently they have chosen design AK-3. I liked all of them, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willieboyd2 Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 AK4, the gold panner, is used a lot for California items. A local national guard unit. A 1920's US commemorative half dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny 1989 Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 AK3 is my personal favourite so I'm glad it won. AK1 would have been great as well. Perhaps my favourite of the 50 state quarters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
