Most Beautiful Coin US Has Ever Made-Need Votes/Images

I agree with the Walking Liberty, particularly the eagle.

I over-analyze and tend towards contrarian, but I've always thought the $20 St Gaudens is overrated. The face on most of them looks like a Medieval helmet, the hand clutching the torch is unnatural (try holding a torch like that), the upper garment - what is that? a sack of potatoes?, her left leg - is it supposed to be inside the dress or outside?, the right leg - where's her foot?, the sun's rays appear to emanate from two different places, the lower left gown - what hem of a dress folds like that?

Like I said, contrarian.

...maybe because the hair style was too far out of fashion or it was too controversial of a political choice that might risk changing the focus of this thread.

I'm a bit disappointed in you Tony, no comment about Lady Liberty's feet or toes?!!?!?!

And nobody has said the Franklin half?!?!?!

For me, it's always been Buffalo nickels though I would consider them "beautiful". Some examples are beautiful, but not really the design overall, so it's Bust coinage for me.

@Ty2020b - I agree that you can find individual examples from any coin series that are just drop-dead gorgeous, often because of nice toning or superb strike and luster. My proof Morgan I use for my avatar is a favorite coin of mine - while toning is a personal preference, I find that one simply outstanding.

While I've posted the following link before (probably in reply to one of your posts), AngelDees' toned Buffalo nickel set I feel is one of the most incredibly beautiful assembled sets of ANY coin series from an eye appeal standpoint. That set sold about 5 years ago, but they keep archived photos on their website: https://www.angeldees.com/pdfs/Ange...TonedSet.pdf
