Which Is Your Least Favorite Coin Design

All the coins I have. The SBA , is just ugly. I have all the years and proofs tuck away. lol

Now who listed that one as the "ugliest" ?.......That's just mean !..

I never knew that Eunice Shriver was on a coin. Turns out it was on the 1995 Special Olympics Commemorative Silver Dollar.

Probably the ike obverse. the late braided hair cents looked kind of boring, too.

The presidential series would have to be my least favorite by far. My second least favorite would have to be a large portion of the State Quarters. To me, they don't seem to have very good designs. At least not very original designs.

Most people hit on mine, in no particular order:

• The Ike obverse is boring but I love the coin because as a kid I thought it was something to get a coin that big.
  
• The reverse of the Texas State Quarter. Very uncreative.
• Presidential - because they are such a pain in the arse to collect. PCGS list 21 different varieties on the Washington alone.

Okay, I now have a new least favorite coin, the 2009 Lincoln cents. What is wrong with the US mint? Are the designs getting worse and worse? I could have done a better job designing these coins. However, I suppose if their goal was to destroy the penny, they may actually succeed!

Hi:
My favourite is Walking Liberty half. In my, humble opinion it the MOST BEAUTIFUL COIN in U.S.Series.
Uncommoncents: All of us can request the Comittee, that decides the Design of coins and request for better designs, quality etc.,
Mr.Edmond Moi, Director of U.S. Mint, meet the coin collectors, general public in ANA coin shows. If we come accross such an occasion, we can represent the same, to him, personaly.
Malissadawn: U.S.Economy, Mother of All Economies is not in good shape. Failure of Lehman Brothers have sent 'shock waves' to our country's financial markets.
But I am sure, U.S.Economy will improve and things will change.
They say, TO MAKE A 5 CENT COIN, IT COSTS 9-CENTS TO THE U.S.MINT. So, metalic changes/combination are inevitable.
Seatednut: Your comments on Barber halves are, just wonderful.

One of the Pillars of this community have kindly helped me with 1914 Barber Half in Good grade. But it was very tough to find it. The lowest minted in the series.
Presidential dollars are History Book of U.S.A., Several Million collectors ALL OVER THE WORLD collect them. The State Quarters and Prez. Dollars have 'brought in' millions of collectors, into this hobby again.
Each one of us, has the liberty to select and collect whatever each like. BUT CONTINUE YOUR TASTE. No stop to this hobby of wonderful people.
