And not only that, he has 2 of each--one minted in Philly and one in Denver. No joke. I like Maine, North Carolina, and Kentucky because they have little vignettes on them. Of course, I also like Kentucky's because it has a horse on it. Also, although it is ugly, I like New Hampshire's simply because shortly after it was issued, the old rock-face man it depicts lost his nose (or whole face? I can't remember). Dale collects these.

Their original sketch was of four deer carcasses strapped to the hood of a Chevy pickup, but this was limited release. Most badass quarter goes to Montana, with the bison skull prominently featured.

I almost feel like defending Tennessee’s as an exception… it’s almost like a heraldic crest more than a random collage.

I like how Connecticut's "Charter Oak" looks, but it's sort of better to pick something like racecar or a bison that doesn't require any additional text on the quarter.
