The Susan B. Anthony dollar. Just a hateful thing. Nothing else even comes close.

I'm right there with Coinfrog. I'm not a fan of any modern dollar really, including Ike's (sorry jbuck ). If I had to pick a "classic" coin design, I'd have to say 3 cent silvers..... not.... a..... fan!

Sadly you are all wrong.

These aren't anywhere the worst:

Look SBA has a pretty reverse:

And a 3 cent silver is just cool. Its the smallest coin ever produced by the US.

The ugliest is Ben.

Seriously we went from Pretty Lady walking in the Sun to ugly Ben?

And no matter how Ugly Ike was, at least the reverse was nice.

How about the newer obv.for the Jefferson nickel? This one takes first place for horrible design (imho). Followed by runners up Ike dollar, S B Anthony dollar, and Franklin half.

Forget about the modern stuff. The 3 cent nickel still has pride of place. Old turkey neck.

Though that 1822 half eagle gives it a run for the money. I've seen enough of it for a lifetime.

Shield nickel anyone? I never found that coin very appealing to be honest.

I always thought the Barber series was a guy. Nuff said.

I'm with you on the Barber series. They do nothing for me.
