Either SBA dollars. presidential dolars, morgans, Barber dimes (I like the reverse on the quarters and halves) numerous commerative halves, and Roosevelt dimes. |

Shield cents, Pres dollars, Modern nickels,
I am also sick of all the modern coins. Outdated designs.

There are so many to choose from. Like my comment or not, but I am not aware of any coin meant for circulation with a real woman on it that is not an ugly design -- correct me if you disagree. Having said that, I think the Kennedy half is a horrible and ugly design. That's my 2 cents (which is also an awful design). If the mint brought back the Indian nickel, Mercury dime, Standing Liberty quarter, Walking Liberty half dollar, and Flying Eagle cent that would really cool -- plus they would not have to pay any "artist" for a new design. |

Interestingly, one of the designs of U.S. coinage that I least like is the WLH, in heavily worn condition.
They develop two very distinct diameters of wear on each side if the coin, which severely detracts from what is rather an exceptionally beautiful design, when the coin is in VF condition or better.
Perhaps a bit more attention and forethought should have been given by Adolph to this problem of wear.

I dislike the obverse of the Peace dollar. The chick on the Morgan is way better looking than the hag on the Peace dollar. Minted to celebrate WW-1 peace, she doesn't look very happy plus she has a boxers nose, I do like the reverse. Just my 2 cents, not penny's. |

After further consideration, the Roosevelt dime just has to go. Thinking of the Ike dollar, wouldn't it be interesting if they brought it back with a picture of Ike from South Park? But that would require the government bureaucrats to have a sense of humor -- but the mental image is self-amusing. Just trying to have some fun with this thread. |

Least favorite, man that's tough. I really like the Washington quarters compared to you guys. I was born in 93 so I really didn't grow up with them compared to the state/ATB quarters, which I dislike. I'm not a fan of just printing pictures in metal. I like the artistic creation that was put into coins. |

I do not like the Shield Cent and the current Jefferson nickel (the one where he's looking at you). He doesn't look flattering to me. |

The current 2006-up Jefferson nickel marries a blah new-age obverse portrait to the uninspired 1938 Monticello reverse.  The "Art-Deco" Monticello reverse proposed in 1937 would make for a great upgrade!  |

I'd be interested to know more about the proposed art deco Monticello design.
