I didn’t know about this coin. Until today. 2 2

Just picked up my first 2021-D Crossing the Delaware quarter in change from the market. Its a keeper! The cashier needed to open a new roll of cents and cracked it open on the register drawer. I said "Yikes!" out loud. lol. I told her that I collected coins and told her about the 2 new 2021 quarters.

I haven’t really taken a good look at it yet. I’ll have to check when I get a chance, but from what I hear they are putting these dies through the ringer so it wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

You should've saved some for me!

I wonder why the mint isn’t putting out rolls of these?

[Modwriter]

I would not get too excited about the 2021 quarters.

A true DD is the LEAST LIKELY outcome. Working dies get squeezed once, so most of the classic causes are now impossible. The only one remaining creates central “smeared” features.

I was assuming he meant die deterioration.

I may have to take a look at that line above PLURIBUS though and see what that is. (Not sure why I quoted myself.) These 12 hr shifts are getting to me.

Sounds like they're overusing the dies to me. Oh well, the 1932-1998 + 2021 "WC the D" obverse seems doomed again.

More than likely... But I love the new reverse... it's my favorite

IMO there is NO need to mess with the obverse again. Leave the darned thing alone as it is for the Washington Crossing reverse quarter.

Agreed, this is their best reverse so far, and I see no need to change it again... at least for the next 50 years

Yeah, but that ship seems to have already sailed. It looks like there will be no more Washington Crossing quarters after this year. As Popeye might say, "Wimmings is trouble."

Dang... have they chosen a design for 2022 yet?

[Lem E]

Same here, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they changed it again or reverted back to the states/atb obverse. I like the classic.

Two so far, one is for Sally Ride, and if memory serves, the other is for Harriet Tubman.

They're fairly serious about adopting the obverse from the 1999 Washington gold $5. It looks great with deep relief, but will look cheap if it's flat.

Why? Neither of those has to do with presidents... It's just as bad as the Harriet Tubman $20 bill!

Yup, that's right. She's a poet and I didn't know it.

If they want to change the face of currency why don't they just come out with a new denomination instead of ruining the ones we already have, and have had for centuries!

The obverse will still be Washington.

Unless the make a 3 dollar note to put with the 7 to make 10, I'm not interested.

[Lem E]

That is pretty terrible.
