I was looking through the
Mount Rushmore article (which is AOFD), and I saw this picture, which I thought very eye-catching. It is a high-res photo, at 2000x2000, and doesn't have any quality problems that I can spot. It's similar to the penny FP, but much more interesting because there are more things to look at then just Lincoln. It was taken by the US Mint. There is also a png version
here, in case that would be better.
CommentHere is the penny I mentioned, and
here the American Buffalo coin. Comparisons might be useful. |

Comment No, actually, that was nominated just two days after my first edit; I didn't know it had been nominated. Also, it's not the same coin. |

Neutral Impressive, I agree, but I am not so sure it adds signifigantly to the article.

What about to
50 State Quarters? (This is the only one of those images to be so large.) —

I disagree and propose that this image is vital in displaying the design of that state's quarter

Oppose I don't like these images that are aggressively modified photos - the black and white "shiny field" background is a total photoshop fabrication, and sloppily masked in some places. Given this decrement to the encyclopedicity, I would like to see something else redeem the image, such as an array of all such state quarters.

Oppose. Although it's a great image, you cannot just expect one of the quarters to get FP status while the other ones do not. They are a group of images, and shouldn't get featured status separately.

Oppose If this becomes featured then all other 49 state quarters have to be featured is well. Sure, this may be larger, but others are sharper and overall the amount of information in the photos are similar. A collection of all those individual coins would be better. --antilivedT |

Oppose - It is a nice image, but not really special. Also, the enc value doesn't seem extraordinary.

Yes, it might be good, but they won't all be minted until 2008 (look at the article, some pictures are missing); we might be able to take them by the year they came out though. |

Oppose. Not unique to the other state quarters. --Tewy 04:28, 9 December 2006 (UTC)reply
Oppose per above comments and previous discussion of these modified images. Also, I think a third US coin would start to make our collection of monetary FPs appear a little biased, no? --
