Chain cent obverse. Good heavens, I'd have believed it was the head of Medusa if only the hair strands were snakes. Ugh.

A pic of a Unc example was posted in over in the Korean forum, and people said it looked like a gaming token.

New nickels, shield cents, Roosevelt dimes, Ike Obverse, Franklin halves are all pretty ugly. Washington quarters a big snore. Liberty on Seated coins looks like a cartoon character.

Roosevelt dimes, the new Jefferson portrait, and the Shield nickel are all just a bit boring in my opinion. The Shield nickel was just boring because it didn`t have an actual person on it, and the Roosevelt is just too old to be good anymore.

The front side design of the state and parks quarters is just way too cluttered. The designs on the back are very nice though.
