ME too! I surely expected to see the new Buck Knives plant on the quarter. Just like the HH Buck gold etched 110! 
Oh well it looks nice anyway. I am sure I will have fun spending any I get on Knives

Kine like the 2006 Club knife with the 2007 blade.
This is a 2007 quarter with a 2005 date stamp.

It would have been a cool gesture for Idaho to put a Buck 110 on a coin...I bet CJ met the governor during the pre-move proceedings...It would have been a nice show of appreciation...

i go to school in idaho, so there was a bit of confusion on the design. most figured it would depict one or more of the following: potato, TV, or buck knives. a press release stated that the potato would not be use, as it was already such a symbol of the state. if i remember correctly, one of the ideas behind the quarters was to help educate (psh) the public about some of the lesser known state symbols.
i think the falcon quarter is terrible. it does nothing for idaho. though, it represents the state well (no offense to idahoans on the site). whats in idaho? nothing

Really??? Do you know if there is an online press release naming Buck as one of the candidates???
What does TV have to do with Idaho???

i didnt say buck was a candidate, i just said that most idahoans that i know figured buck might be on there
and tv was invented in idaho. philo farnsworth, a farmboy in rigby, came up with the idea, design, and prototype of the television. he was "beat" by a russian inventor working for RCA for the patent. i say "beat" because all primary sources point to farnsworth as having the original idea and written patent submission. RCA pulled some strings to get ahead

A lot of state quarters are pretty lame. Pennsylvania's quarter features the "Commonwealth statue, an allegorical female figure."

I don't have anything to say, I just thought I'd post to let you guys know I didn't fall off the the edge of the earth.
I commute to work over in Kelso, WA and only come home on weekends. 
This is really putting a crimp in my knife buying plans.

Yes, Trax, Will, and Sunny D...
I have "one" friend...and I married her.
Just as a side note, if I lived in Idaho, I guess I would've invented the TV or alchoholism too.
