I agree with the Walking Liberty coin being one of the nicest. Again, I am pretty disappointed with the mint's new coinage.

I think the new dollar coins are AWFUL. They are the ugliest coins I have. The best would be a walking liberty or the Sacagawea. I think the "sac" is the finest coin the mint has produced in some time. Out of the 50 State Quarters i'll take WISCONSIN! I like the design and wish I owned a few error coins :)

SBA dollars. They look like Granny from the Beverly Hillbillies.

Most of our modern coins lack the artistry of Weinman or Saint-Gaudens. I think that our mint is rushing to develop pseudo-euro currency that the young collectors will identify with. It's a shame, in my opinion, that modern art seldom reflects the old master's technique. I would rater see coins in an Art-Nouveau style be for putting out something like the last Jefferson series. What is truly amazing is that the younger generation want more vivid and life-like images on their video games than on their coins.

This thread should have been a poll! It would have been interesting to see the results. My general impression is that the more modern coins are deemed more ugly overall.

I would have said the SBA, but so have many others so I'll leave that alone. What about Buffalo nickels? From a design standpoint the way the dates degrade is very painful for me. At least nobody needs nick-a-date for the SBAs!
