Current Jefferson nickel. And the Presidential dollars. I like the use of Liberty on the reverse, but every one of the obverse portraits looks cartoonish. And I too would prefer ONE DOLLAR instead of $1. |

Any coin with a President on them. Can't stand the idea of putting real people on our money. We need to get away from idolizing and hero-worship on our coins, and go back to concepts of LIBERTY!

The Franklin half seems pretty dull to me. So dull that when I get some 90% silver, I can't enjoy them like the rest of the coins. I have to just tell myself that they are silver and worth having just for that. The whole thing is dull, but what's up with the little German style eagle on the reverse? |

Seated Liberties
Just never saw the appeal of that design. Looks even worse when it's worn down.

The Chuck-E-Cheese token design. Oops, I mean the Presidential gold dollars.

I agree with every post here, except perhaps the seated libertys. Get rid of the dead presidents, and back to graceful liberty figures. The dead presidents on coins seem to have been politically driven, but I think what the public favors is artistic design instead. This clearly is reflected in sales of the American Eagle bullion cons.

I can live with the Susan B. Anthony design, since it apparently is what the woman actually looked like, but I really, truly hate the new shield reverse on the cent. It just looks like play money to me.

Whatever they make today. Those cheap, flat designs on worthless metal. I know it's too expensive to use silver and copper, but can't we use artistic designs? What I would really like to see is a revival of classic coinage. Imagine a modern interpretation of Barbers and Capped Bust designs!  |

I also like both sides on the Morgan dollar, but perhaps I'm biased as the designer was British! My least favourite Classic US circulating coin design is probably the Barber dime. Whilst I like the Barber portrait and the reverse on the quarters and halves, it doesn't do much for me on a small coin. There are several US Commemoratives (both Classic and Modern) that I find plain ugly. The Spanish Trail half may be worth a small fortune, but I don't find it attractive. And some have really fussy cluttered designs. Edited by NumisRob
