Description

Artwork designed for North Carolina State Quarter by Tony Lee Joyce =(Tbonevoodoo) in 2000 and was picked by Governor James B.Hunt as the design for the "First In Flight" 50 State quarters. Redesigned by the United States Mint and engraved by John Mercanti

Governor James B. Hunt appointed the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources as the lead in the state's design concept process. The Department established the North Carolina Commemorative Coin Committee, which consisted of members from the State Department of Cultural Resources, the Division of Archives and History, as well as coin collectors. The Committee solicited design ideas from the residents of North Carolina.Some alternate design concepts suggested were the 1903 Flyer superimposed over an outline of the state, the Hatteras Lighthouse superimposed over an outline of the state, and the Hatteras Lighthouse showing a dune and sea gulls. On June 5, 2000, the Governor was provided with three candidate designs, and the Committee and Governor Hunt selected the "First Flight" theme for the official design. This design and two others were sent in by Artist Tony Lee Joyce a resident of Stokes County,N.C in the year 2000. and redesigned and engraved at the United States Mint.
