I'm a big sucker for boats on a quarter. There's something about naval scenes that lends itself to engraving. I see those boats and yearn to be on them, sailing the high seas, seeking adventure in the New World. The overall balance is good, with a nice triangular shape, similar to New Jersey. Bravo Virginia. -- Sean
Jamestown is totally underappreciated when it comes to settlements in the New World. Sure, the pilgrims from the Mayflower get a lot of airplay with Thanksgiving and their cutesy outfits, but John Smith's gang was the real deal. Congratulations to Virginia for picking a great design.
Similar to New Jersey!? Come on dude, BETTER than New Jersey yo.
Raise your hand if your state's quarter is better than Virginia's.
