Item Description
WASHINGTON QUARTER DOLLAR 1999 S PROTOTYPE "COPY" DELAWARE
COPY
Controversy
On February 2, 1998, Delaware Governor Tom Carper held a statewide competition to come up with design finalists for what would be the first circulating United States quarter commemorative since the Bicentennial quarter.
Of the approximately 300 entries, 40 came from Caesar Rodney High School and the art class of Eddy Seger. Among the submitted designs was one executed by Seger himself. Seger's design featured a right-facing Caesar Rodney riding a galloping horse. Behind him, the outline of the shape of the state of Delaware. Vegetal ornamentation wrapped around the rim. The inscriptions UNITED STATES of AMERICA and E PLURIBUS UNUM remain unchanged from the Heraldic Eagle reverse in Seger's concept.The format of the 50 States Quarters obverse and reverse had not been made public at this point in time.
The final design would mirror Seger's design but improve upon it by stripping out unnecessary design elements. The vegetal wreaths and the outline of the state would not carry over, and the horse-riding Rodney would face left instead of right in the finished work, his horse elongated, his figure more sinewy and upright.
Engraver William Cousins, who took Seger's concept and adapted it for coining, is credited as the coin's designer. Cousins' "WC" initials feature to the left of the horse's lead
