MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 04/07/2021 12:17 am Ugliest or just unappealing ? All coins are a representation of a historical era and I like them all but I'd have to say that most modern coinage doesn't do much for me. The modern Jefferson nickels look goofy to me. the old silver Three Cent pieces are sort of boring but I like the historical significance. And I'm sure many would say the flowing hair Half Disme but I like the crude look of our first coinage. Only wish I could afford one! Report this Post to the Staff

captaincoffee Pillar of the Community United States 600 Posts	Posted 04/07/2021 12:36 pm Hard to disagree with many of these, although I kinda like the 3 cent piece. I'll throw in another...the Jefferson nickel. Head on front, dude's house on the back. Not impressed. Report this Post to the Staff

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3649 Posts	Posted 04/08/2021 6:58 pm Dunno. A couple of the classic rarities deserve mention. The chain cent's obverse is plain scary. Liberty looks like a double-chinned Medusa. the reverse is OK, but it reminds me of every paper clip fidget toy I made when I was an office cubicle-dweller. And yes, I'd love a handful of these uglies. The right-facing Draped Bust half eagles with the small eagle are almost painful. Liberty looks like she is wearing a bedpan, and the skinny plucked chicken on the reverse isn't exactly awe-inspiring. That said, I'd love to own a fistful of them, too. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinstrike Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 04/08/2021 8:47 pm I'd have to say that it is without doubt the 1993 Jefferson commemorative dollar. It looks little like the Jefferson portraits, and when I saw it, at first glance I honestly thought it was commemorating Babe Didrikson Zaharius. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinstrike Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 04/09/2021 4:37 pm I know it probably sounds like I was trying to be a smart alec, but I really wasn't. I think the coin could have been much more like Jefferson. Here's a picture of Babe Zaharius, just so you can see it like I did. Report this Post to the Staff

Jon Brand Pillar of the Community United States 1023 Posts	Posted 04/11/2021 4:09 pm Nickels! All nickels. IMHO nickel is an ugly corrosive metal. Buffalo nickels are ok but I don't collect any nickels. I think franklins are fine in general, but I find his profile hideous. Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: Any One of the Presidential dollars...the whole series Gotta agree with both of these. The modern dollars often feel uninspired or just poorly inspired. The Presidential dollars are just plain ugly to me, the 3/4 profile just isn't a good look, the ones that opted for a side profile are alright to me but don't make up for the rest of them Report this Post to the Staff
