Vote for the Minnesota quarter, if you'd be so kind.
Personally, I like the Minnesota quarter. Except for the outline of the state hovering over the water like some sort of monolith. I mean, come on, if you don't know what Minnesota looks like, consult a fucking map. I realize we have 10,000+ lakes. Apparently, that's out defining characteristic. It just seems they could have called out that bit of geographical identity through a different means. That hovering state outline kind of kills the overall tranquility of the rest of the design. Anyhooooo. . .
That said, the Colorado quarter has its own drawbacks. Namely, the slogan "Colorful Colorado" is kind of a braindead stupid claim to make on the back of a freakin' SILVER quarter. Just sayin'.
