duncanbishop24 Pillar of the Community United States 898 Posts	Posted 09/26/2015 1:18 pm Personally I love the Barber dimes. That's where I cast my vote. Mercs are great as well and I bet the overwhelming majority will pour in for Mercury, but it's a close second for me Report this Post to the Staff
shadz Pillar of the Community 1325 Posts	Posted 09/26/2015 3:56 pm Taking a close look at them all as pictured here, I picked Barber. The huge honking mintmark was a really big factor, but the other lettering is jsut crisp and clean. Mercury has a nice reverse design, but it is a bit busy. The barber also seems busy but the level of details isn't from different elements, just that kind of detailing in the wreath. Also it isn't crowded like modern coins seem to be thinking you have to fill all available real estate space with something. Overall good clean design, and the obverse has my preference of Greek over Roman features. (Yes know the Morgan's model wasn't a roman girl.) Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 09/26/2015 7:53 pm Almost not worth a poll. Almost I said due to those few on Earth that actually like the Roosevelt THING. Although the Barber or Liberty Head is really close. Sure wish they'ld stop the Roosevelt thing and go back to the Merc. I'm on set #12 of those. Just love those Merc's.
