Here's a worn Denver my wife picked up at Pat Catan's in Bedford, Ohio on the last day of May. She didn't notice she had it until we were looking for quarters to feed Cleveland Heights' notorious meters while out to see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel at The Cedar-Lee Theatre on Saturday, June 2nd.
One of the fun things about this find is that Bedford is the hometown of Archibald Willard, the painter of "The Spirit of '76" which also depicts a colonial drummer. According to Walter Breen, the quarter design "obviously" derives from Willard's centennial painting [Wikipedia].
In any event, I'm appreciative of the find—it's been way too long (nearly a full year!) since the previous one.
It would seem I need to spend more cash or generate more change.
I'll see what I can do to speed up finding number 15.
