BluesZone Pillar of the Community United States 524 Posts	Posted 06/27/2011 12:05 pm You might not want to pick a least favorite jbuck but we know who the favorite is. I have a full set of Roos.,Jeffs,LMC,Kennedy,Ikes but I just have never liked Washington quarters. Only have about 10 of the old silver ones. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187446 Posts	Posted 06/27/2011 3:04 pm Quote: I didn't think there would be so many that would list the Roosevelt dime as their least favorite I actually like the Roosevelt dime, mostly because it is so small. My Roosevelt Dansco album is lightweight and easy to handle. Quote: You might not want to pick a least favorite jbuck but we know who the favorite is.

JackB Pillar of the Community United States 1064 Posts	Posted 06/27/2011 3:16 pm All of them; too small. I need something substantial for my big, meaty hands, something like a Peace dollar would be nice. Report this Post to the Staff
Chadwick Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 06/27/2011 3:27 pm Least favorite for me would be the new shield cents. It would have been nice if it was minted in the 60's, but with today's lack of relief I think the design looks dull and unimpressive. I'm with many others on bringing liberty back to our coins.

jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2200 Posts	Posted 06/27/2011 3:30 pm Another vote for the 1964 nickel! When I began collecting 35 years ago, they hogged all my change. Still seem them every now and then, but not as bad as it used to be. The Presidential dollar coins have all the aesthetic appeal of a subway token. The "shield" reverse of the new penny is staid and boring. In fact, I don't like any of the new penny and nickel designs the mint has bombarded us with over the past decade or so. They all just seems so random: "Hey, let's find something else to commemorate and put it on the back of the nickel!" or "Hey! Let's change the angle of Tommy Jefferson's face--and then let's change it back! What a cool idea!" or "What say we show everyone for the zillionth time what a great man ol' Honest Abe was and screw up the reverse of the penny a few times!" If you're going to change the design, then change it for a good reason and then keep it that way. Edited by jpsned 06/27/2011 11:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

What do you have against subway tokens? Quote: In fact, I don't like any of the new penny and nickel designs the mint has bombarded us with over the past decade or so... "Hey, let's find something else to commemorate and put it on the back of the nickel!" or "Hey! Let's change the angle of Tommy Jefferson's face--what a cool idea!" Very, very much agreed. However, I do like the reverse of the new cent simply b/c. to me, it restored the classic look of some of our older coins. Did you see the ridiculously simplistic representation of the flag design that (thankfully) they did not use? Compared to that design, the shield is a work of intricate details! The coin I will dislike the most, however, will be a future coin though... My US coins, to me, are a patriotic and historical record of the US and the advances we have made through Liberty and the lives of great people who took part in that history. The people pictured on these coins were people who loved America and all she stands for. They loved the founding of our nation upon the principals defined in the Bill of Rights and Constitution (well - Sacagawea might not have known of these!) <<Staff note: Details removed. The OP has an issue with Bill Clinton. While this is his right, the details as to why are not beneficial to the topic. >> Do not get me wrong. There were other presidents through history whose actions I am very disappointed with. However, a genuine, though unpunished traitor to the Constitution on a US coin is different and is a sad thing. And BTW, this is not a political vent. As said, I see my US collection as a patriotic record (in metal) as a tribute to the Constitutionally established rights of liberty. And I also see the designs of the coinage/money as a tribute to some of the outstanding people who perpetuated that history. So I am not accused of it, I also want to say I do not hate Mr. Clinton the person. The fact I literally prayed for Mr. Clinton (and encouraged others to do so) every day he was in office testifies to this. His words/actions are another story...

jbuck Moderator United States 187446 Posts	Posted 06/27/2011 5:44 pm Moderators' Warning: This topic is treading dangerously close into politics. We understand that political convictions affect our choices, but please limit the comments to "I have personal issues with this person on the coin" and avoid giving details that will ultimately incite those with an opposing view.

sully Valued Member United States 101 Posts	Posted 06/27/2011 8:33 pm I would love to see two sets for each denomination. One with some depictation(?) of lady liberty and one with the current coinage. It would make collections a little more interesting with one or both runs. Idk Report this Post to the Staff
wulffy11 Pillar of the Community United States 543 Posts	Posted 06/27/2011 9:16 pm I was waiting for a barrage of people to say the 1964 Nickel. I have become fond of it considering the metal value of it. With that being said, though, the 1964 nickel will continue to overpopulate regardless of what happens to the current composition of the Nickel. I think it will still show up in change 20-30 years from now. Report this Post to the Staff

coinsearcher83 Pillar of the Community United States 1358 Posts	Posted 06/27/2011 9:23 pm I hate the obverse of the 2005 nickels.. why would they even design that? Much to close and awkward.. I mean.. "Westward Journey" Series.. He's not even facing west! Well, unless you look at the coin upside down.. Report this Post to the Staff
RollHunter Pillar of the Community United States 687 Posts	Posted 06/27/2011 9:54 pm Quote: He's not even facing west! Well, unless you look at the coin upside down.. Sit/stand/face south. Hold nickel in front of you with obverse facing you. Now he's looking west. Problem solved! Edited by RollHunter 06/27/2011 9:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
