Nice addition to 21st Century Type Set

The quarter designs post-1998 really haven't piqued my interest too much (Statehood, Territories, and now America the Beautiful). I know the Statehood Quarters series really rekindled a lot of interest in coin collecting, but I could never keep up. And, I'm much more of a traditionalist. I like designs that stick around and become "classic" and part of the fabric of the U.S. culture. I kind of miss that beautiful 1932-1998 eagle reverse. Again, I'm grateful to the interest this series brought to coin collecting, but I didn't jump on that train...

BUT, I did need an example of the DC/Territories (2009) quarter for my 21st Century Type Set. After considering all of the 6 options for that year, I chose the Virgin Islands design. I think this is partly due to the beautiful reverse evoking a longing for somewhere warm and tropical. Winters in Minnesota can do this to you...

My new beautiful addition is below.

Cheers!
