I do not hate them enough to scrawl an x across the ones I pick up, it makes one wonder is the designer some muckity mucks close relative?   06-30-2009, 11:53 PM   #17 (permalink) Half Dollar* Numismaniac     Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: Indiana Posts: 169 My Mood: A picture is worth a thousand words. __________________ Half Dollar*   06-30-2009, 11:59 PM   #18 (permalink) krispy krispy     Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Brooklyn Posts: 2,591 My Mood: presidential dollars, they will never seem to end, it will be a chore to see them all through, too much commitment to a program of coinage and not enough symbolism, expression and statement in our coinage.   07-01-2009, 12:19 AM   #19 (permalink) Arizona Jack The Lincoln-ator     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Dry Heat USA Posts: 6,754 My Mood: My body did not come equipted with a hate bone, but there are several I dislike. Ikes, SBA's, Prez dollars, Kennedys, Franklins, Roosys, Washingtons. Mainly boring designs I guess. Some I do not even dislike, they just do not interest me. I would have added Jeffersons to that list but since buying a cpl gem sets, I have really changed my mind. They CAN be beautiful with some color and steps. Most of my " collection " these days have been darkside coins due to the artwork and value they represent. __________________ W.I.N.S / ANA / SLCC / Mesa Coin Club I am a poker player ..."thats beyond trailer trash" Joan Rivers on Celebrity Apprentice, 4/09 Hot Sauce Fanatic !!!   07-01-2009, 12:35 AM   #20 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,314 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Half Dollar* A picture is worth a thousand words.

There are two coins that I like, but HATE under certain circumstances. Saint-Guadens 20$ gold and Morgan Dollar. Nice coins to be sure. but during large Coin Shows... no way.   07-01-2009, 12:41 AM   #23 (permalink) Lehigh96 Toning Freak     Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: The Poker Room Posts: 3,012 My Mood: Blog Entries: 2 Quote: Originally Posted by tmoneyeagles The Jefferson Nickels, they are very ugly, and they bring out my tough guy persona.

I also hate the Presidential Dollars, The Territory Quarters, The Kennedy Half, The Susan B Anthony Dollar, and in the future, I will hate the park state quarters as well. Travis, One day you will come out of the closet and admit your undying love for the Jefferson Nickel. In fact, I might have to send you one for XMAS. My most hated series is anything Seated Liberty. I abhor that design.   07-01-2009, 12:46 AM   #24 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,314 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Lehigh96 Travis, One day you will come out of the closet and admit your undying love for the Jefferson Nickel.

I think the IKE's and SBA's are the ugliest. The clad devaluation of money bothers me the most. Give me a pre64 silver coin worn or not verses a modern debased coin (except the nickel has never been debased yet) and I will pick a 90% silver coin all day. I like Clembos point. Some coins were not made intelligently like the Buffalos and SLQ's re: high relief dates. __________________ “Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace.” —James Madison   07-01-2009, 01:35 AM   #27 (permalink) Arizona Jack The Lincoln-ator     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Dry Heat USA Posts: 6,754 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Lehigh96 Travis, One day you will come out of the closet and admit your undying love for the Jefferson Nickel.

I love anything from the art deco years, especially the Standing Libs...., Mercs, Walkers It was just recently I fell in love with those Jeffs. A few hours with a loupe and a set of BU Jeffys has really changed my mind. I am even considering trying to go " full step" with it. Color Jeffs turn me on now and for years I found them boring Coins are a sickness, lol __________________ W.I.N.S / ANA / SLCC / Mesa Coin Club I am a poker player ..."thats beyond trailer trash" Joan Rivers on Celebrity Apprentice, 4/09 Hot Sauce Fanatic !!!   07-01-2009, 01:45 AM   #28 (permalink) Boss Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: Out West Posts: 1,113 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Arizona Jack Most of my " collection " these days have been darkside coins due to the artwork and value they represent.
