Did you know a quarter minted in 2015 for the Kisatchie National Forest which is spread across 7 parishes in Louisiana has the wild turkey in flight on the back of the quarter ? If you haven't seen one of these it's so neat.

I just took about 40 of them to a place locally 'Bullet Designs" to have some special jewelry made for our NWTF Banquet in August, it was taken of an actual photograph made in Kisatchie NF of a flying turkey, pretty neat, no other state has a turkey on their quarter, much less a flying one except Louisiana

I thought you might find this interesting.

A Print that will truly last
Matt Lindler a friend and also the editor for the NWTF's National Magazines Turkey Country and Jakes Country. Matt is also the director of Photography as well. As a photographer Matt has had something pretty amazing happen involving one of his wild turkey photos! Matt Lindler as quoted states:

 " I have to say, this is one of the coolest things that has happened to me professionally. A photo I took of a flying wild turkey tom was used by a U.S. Mint master artist to design the new Kisatchie National Forest, LA, quarter in the America the Beautiful series. They'll be released later this month. It's neat to think an image I took (rendered, of course) will circulate around the globe for decades."

Now what I think is pretty cool is when I get my hands on some of those U.S. Minted quarters I can say; HEY!! I know that guy who took that photo for that quarter! I am going to start looking to get my hands on some of them! Reports are already out that they and in circulation!

Thanks,
Clark

It has nothing to do with what they are worth it's the story of why the turkey is on the coin. I collecting them also. It's just like why do you collect turkey calls or anything else..

Sorry I could not help myself...  I will almost certainly get some to carry in my pocket for luck next season...  And of course the kids will want one...

But me being me, I cannot resist a good opportunity at a bit of sarcasm....

Very cool coin:

Couldn't decide which spot to hunt one morning, buddy tossed me a quarter, landed on tails.

First one I had seen, or noticed anyway. We did call one in that morning along with 5 jakes…no shot.

Been in my wallet since
