willieboyd2 Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 The Arizona motto "Grand Canyon State" is already engraved on our minds, and it is likely to be engraved on our quarters, as well. Three of the final five designs of Arizona's quarter feature the motto, and a scenic overview of the Grand Canyon itself is depicted on two of them. Two of the designs feature a stately saguaro, which is either an icon or cliche depending on how long you've lived in the desert. And two of the designs represent history (John Wesley Powell's Grand Canyon expedition) and culture (Navajo Code Talkers).

Scottishmoney Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 All really attractive and suitable designs in my opinion. Let's hear it for Arizona, original and attractive designs and NO, that is NO state outlines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I like them all but #3 is my favorite of the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willieboyd2 Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I like number 3 with the cactus. It kind of reminds me of the 1930's Arizona state tax tokens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbvenman Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 They all look very nice. I like number 3 as well. It looks very pretty. I really like the depth and perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggAndyy Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I voted for Number 1 but Number 5 was the most interesting of the bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I see 3 as being the chosen one but 5 is the least cliched design and the one that merits the most respect. 4 is too cartoonish Of the first 3 designs, 3 is the most coinable (physically) I would guess. If 2 is chosen, the DDR hunters will love it. If 5 is chosen, expect to see extra-leaf varieties. And I can't figure out which, for the life of me, would wear the best.
