Poll Question
Hey everyone! A few months ago I had a series of polls asking what the best-looking design by denomination was. The rule was that the winners of each denomination poll would move on to the final poll (this one). Some of you may remember it. There was a tie in the Three-cent denomination poll, so those are not included here.

Rules: Choose the coin design that is most aesthetically pleasing to you. We'll see the winner soon, let the votes begin!


Poll Choices
 Draped Bust Half Cent
  Flying Eagle cent
  Two Cent Piece
  Seated half dime
  Buffalo nickel
  Mercury dime
  Twenty Cent Piece
  Standing Liberty quarter
  Walking Liberty half
  Morgan dollar
 Type 3 Gold Dollar
 Indian Head $2.5/$5
 Three Dollar Gold
 Indian Head $10
 Saint Gaudens $20

@oih82w8, when I did the original denomination polls a few months ago I said I wasn't including commems. If you want, you could make a poll similar to this but with US commemorative coins.

But I do have to say My favorite reverse on any coin is from the 1936 Bridgeport Half Dollar.

I love the Art Deco Eagle it's great the way beak, tail feathers and some letters just overlapping the rim of the coin make it really stand out!

EDIT: Is that Bridgeport half dollar DDR?

Where is Seated coinage? I see the Half Dime but is that representative of all Liberty Seated coinage?

. Exactly what I was thinking. Seated coinage is definitely my favorite but the Half-Dime is so small that it's not the best looking of the series. The Seated dime's and Quarters are the sweet spot. Anyway, I voted for the Indian Head $10, love those too.

While I only have one SLQ, out of all of those choices it's my favorite design! Love that Bridgeport Half though!

Well I can't seem to vote. Every time I pull this up I get the poll results. Someone please put me down for the Walking Liberty half. My second choice would be Standing Liberty quarter.

"But I do have to say My favorite reverse on any coin is from the 1936 Bridgeport Half Dollar." Very cool coin, I'd never seen one before, thanks for posting.

To everyone who is wondering where there favorite designs are on this poll: Each option here was the winning design on the others polls organized by denomination. For example, the Roosevelt dime got less votes than the Mercury on the dime poll, so that's why the Roosevelt isn't here.
