Yo Ratman4762! I agree with you %1000! I wish I had checked my Seated Liberty Halfs before I declared the Quarter the winner! Bad on ME! Here's my 1853 New Orleans mint Half:  Once again, the Obverse is nothing to be overwhelmed about... (obviously in my opinion...   )  And surprising the same Dollar coin of the era was MUCH less inspiring:

Quote:I do like showing people the back of a proof Ike dollar. They really like the design since it shows what they know about US....the Eagle and the moon landings. Kena,  the Ike dollar reverse is in my top five as well. I like eagles so all the coins with the best pictures of the eagle rate good with me.

I will have to vote for the Mercury dime and Walking Liberty half. You get those coins in AU+ condition and they are amazing. They are kind of dull in G4-F12 condition. -SFWUSC

Sorry no pics but just about anything is better than the designs found on modern coinage. BORING!

Yea Yotie... I am going to say ... Boo to the Peace. Reverse is cool, but I like the eagle reverse... The Washington quarter eagle sucks though. -SFWUSC

Despite spending 95% of my time with Buffalo nickels, my favorite design is the Standing Liberty quarter, even if the reverse IS rather plain. My least favorite design is the Ick Dollar.... errr... Ike dollar.   The Liberty Walking Half is a close second!

Quote:I'm surprised the Standing quarter hasn't received more love. I think it's a great design.  with Hawke1969! It's just VERY tough to find nice examples of the coin since it wore so quickly and so badly (My opinion...obviously!)

Yea I think that is what kills the Standing Liberty quarters... they are so worn for the most part that people don't get to see the real design. I also think that killed the Barber coins as well. I can't stand them bc I always saw worn examples. In AU/MS that are really nice coins.
