I've cleaned up the composition in the "Eagle Series" section. The information is accurate, but I think in can be misleading, because the composition isn't homogeneous.76.20.71.116 (talk) 11:07, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've posted an under construction tag on the article page to note that this article will be being expanded and otherwise spruced up as part of the drive to improve the coverage of coins on Wikipedia. All help accepted on bended knee.--Wehwalt (talk) 11:45, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wehwalt I'd like your opinion on this. There are three more commemorative Washington quarter programs lined up until 2030, and there is always the possibility that more will be added to that lineup. Template:Infobox coin currently allows for up to four obverse and four reverse designs to be displayed. This will no doubt cause a problem in the not to distant future as not only the reverse designs, but also the obverse designs are slated for change.
The infobox currently displays the following obverse designs:
The original obverse dating back to 1932
The 1999 50 States redesign
And the 2010 ATB redesign
And the following reverse designs:
The original eagle reverse
The 1976 Bicentennial reverse
The latest commemorative reverse of the 1999–2021 run
And the 2021 Delaware River redesign
I propose that the infobox does away with all commemorative reverses (including the Bicentennial reverse) and associated obverses, and instead focuses on the "standard" quarter designs of 1932–1998 and 2021. I think this would be justified as the commemorative varieties were created under separate coin programs. To make up for the designs that are missing from the infobox, the article would feature a hatnote with links to the various commemorative Washington quarter programs. - ZLEAT\C03:54, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
What about using a setup like we do with Jefferson nickel? Put the two commemorative obverses (1999-2009, 2010-2021) side by side; I know they are similar but if we exclude one people will get picky on us. The problem arises when the Fraser design takes over next year, as probably an even number of designs is needed. Possibly a silver obverse can also be used in addition to the clad Flanagan, so four. The reverse situation is simpler, if we avoid the commemoratives, which are illustrated elsewhere in the article. I could go either way on the hatnote.--Wehwalt (talk) 12:41, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I thought of just having the current design, as well, but that would mean that when the Fraser design begins to be used next year, the infobox would contain an image that almost no quarters in circulation will be bearing for months or longer, it always takes time for a new design to filter in. I would think we'd want to continue to show the past obverse designs in the infobox, and possibly the reverses, at least the non-commemorative ones.--Wehwalt (talk) 19:04, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Here's what I have. I decided not to completely remove the commemorative issues from the infobox, but I did remove the Bicentennial issue and grouped it with the other commemorative designs, which I moved below this year's design in anticipation for the upcoming programs. I also grouped the modified obverses of the commemorative issues as you suggested. The Fraser design and the other upcoming redesign would be grouped there as well when they are released. - ZLEAT\C22:08, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
