VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 05/16/2011 8:54 pm Ugghh the SBA dollar. What a terrible obverse... Actually the whole coin itself is just terrible, period. Report this Post to the Staff
Strohbie New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 05/16/2011 9:23 pm I voted for the Sacagawea dollars, mostly because I can't stand the thought of that stupid law requiring the mint to continue making them, storing them, and guarding them, just because some senator in North Dakota felt like she (Sacagawea) was a local. edited for clarity Edited by Strohbie 05/16/2011 9:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 05/16/2011 10:15 pm Quote: I remember vending machine owners cursing these things up and down. A whole day of sales from the machine could be lost b/c someone that morning did not take the time to make sure it was a quarter they were putting in the machine. The machine jammed and was useless the rest of the day. Vending operators were the ones who pushed for a mini-dollar to start with. Almost every vending machine made since 1980 is perfectly capable of handling brass bucks. For the few that aren't, the repair to prevent accidental jamming by mini-dollars costs less than a service call. Remove two screws and replace the coin slot with one with too small a diameter to fit a SBA. Report this Post to the Staff
Porter Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 05/16/2011 10:45 pm I voted for the Sacs. They're just boring. Report this Post to the Staff

Yeah, that's why they made them in 1999. They were so unpopular, they ran out. Report this Post to the Staff
HalfDollarDave Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 05/17/2011 09:52 am I'm voting Twenty Cent Pieces. Cool looking coin, but the whole idea behind the denomination failed. SBA is a close second though. Report this Post to the Staff
biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 05/17/2011 10:55 am What's strange is that 20Â¢ makes more sense in a decimal coinage than 25Â¢. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 05/21/2011 4:39 pm With the pres. dollars--they are a failure. Their main mistake I see is using a frontal portrait on such a low-profile strike. The " Peace dollar" was anti-climatic after the Morgan series, which looks good in both BU and well-circulated grades. For the same reasons, the "Mercury" dime series far outshines the Roosevelt series. Report this Post to the Staff
west point coinage New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 08/02/2011 4:43 pm HOW COULD YOU LIKE PRESIDENTIAL DOLLARS AND SACAGAWEAS MORE THAN SUSAN B. ANTHONYS?!Not that I like Suzies but presidential dollers? Come on Guys. Report this Post to the Staff
coinmap Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 08/02/2011 5:06 pm I can't stand the Susan B's. The Pres Dollars are a close second, without the mint mark on the front. I didn't mind the Sacs, until they pulled the same stunt with the mint mark. Oh, and yes I have complete sets of all of them! Report this Post to the Staff

I didn't mind the Sacs, until they pulled the same stunt with the mint mark. The date and mint mark should have never been moved to the edge. I collect by date and mint. With the Presidential dollar (unique obverse) and the Native American dollar (unique reverse), I can get by without the date. But the mint mark? I see no reason to collect both mints if I cannot see the mint mark when they are in my album. I have yet to buy a Presidential dollar album because of this. Do I get a 'date only' album for them? If I do, I may just put my proofs in there since the few I am getting from circulation have already started to turn.

dragonred385 New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 08/02/2011 6:48 pm Voted for Presidential dollars. Some of our presidents weren't exactly good looking. Report this Post to the Staff

jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2203 Posts	Posted 08/02/2011 9:17 pm I don't really like the 3 cent silvers, because they're so tiny that they're hard to look at (not that the design is anything to look at), they gathered dirt easily so it's hard to find a nice-looking one, and they cost an awful lot of money for such a tiny coin.
