Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 07/02/2017 5:40 pm Somebody's lookin' to "pick a fete" as the Scottish would say... I despise with a passion (for those of you thesaurically challenged, that means really hate) the SBA series...my what a handsome ~~harpy~~, er, lady (VERY scary!). And the lack of imagination to reuse, (altho recycling was being taunted)a reverse design celebrating an event that may not have really happened. You REALLY think an eagle could fly on the MOON! I'm a bridge seller, want one? Report this Post to the Staff
LibertyEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1201 Posts	Posted 07/02/2017 10:11 pm Since you mentioned classic, I'll go with the Barber dime. The reverse is boring compared to ones with an eagle. Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4471 Posts	Posted 07/02/2017 10:59 pm The Trade dollar gets no respect. The Trade dollar is the only USA coin to have been demonetized because when it found its way into circulation merchants did not want to take it. Banks were not required to take the coin from a merchant in a deposit. The coin was recalled by the government at melt below its dollar value. Many examples were sent to China in trade and were beat with chop marks. One of the most counterfiet coins. And now being called the ugliest coin design. Report this Post to the Staff
johnny676767 Pillar of the Community United States 521 Posts	Posted 07/02/2017 11:22 pm I didn't used to like the Liberty V nickel, but I now have a few UNC examples and I like them quite a bit although the design does appear a bit 'flat'. Other than that, the Flying Eagle cent never did anything for me. I don't even own one, though, so that could change I suppose. Report this Post to the Staff

Even Liberty on the Barber coinage is a rather handsome fellow. Quote: Fellow? Not the first time I heard that one, but Barber is way better looking than Morgan. Just saying.

Dagaz Valued Member Slovenia 459 Posts	Posted 07/04/2017 08:25 am I for one like the Barbaer coinage. Sure, the gender is open to debate, but coin as a whole just kind of works for me. One series that does not however, is Liberty Seated coinage. The series simply does nothing to me. Report this Post to the Staff
chesterb Pillar of the Community United States 1261 Posts	Posted 07/04/2017 09:56 am I like all classic US coins. I guess if I had to choose a design I liked the least then it would be the Braided Hair Large Cents but don't get me wrong I own some and wouldn't pass one up if you were send me some!

MorganGuy78 Valued Member United States 304 Posts	Posted 07/04/2017 11:05 pm The Ike dollar has got to be the worst. The reverse is all right but I don't understand the affection towards Eisenhower's bald head. Report this Post to the Staff

NoPoMoCo Valued Member United States 403 Posts	Posted 07/04/2017 11:36 pm If pattern coins qualify as designs for classic coins, there are some doozies. The Annular-Holey Cent Pattern Coins look like bus tokens... very expensive bus tokens! Here's one from HA https://coins.ha.com/itm/patterns/1...bnail-071515 Report this Post to the Staff
