I'll think on mine. stainless __________________ Will trade coins for cake recipes.   06-30-2009, 09:30 PM   #2 (permalink) Rollhunter1994 Member     Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Corona, CA Posts: 73 The PRESIDENTIAL DOLLARS!!!! The design is horrible. I also REALLY hate how they put the date on the edge of the coin.   06-30-2009, 09:34 PM   #3 (permalink) Leadfoot Numismatist     Join Date: Apr 2005 Posts: 5,617 My Mood: Many of the modern "made for collectors" coins don't do much for me. Bullion coins don't do much for me. I never really liked half dimes other than the 1792. But I don't "hate" any of them -- just don't collect them.   06-30-2009, 09:35 PM   #4 (permalink) coleguy Coin Collector     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: California Posts: 2,097 My Mood: Thats a tough one, Stain. I don't think I really "hate" any particular series of coin. I will say the coin design I dislike the most has to be the Barber design. I still like to collect them for the challenge, but I do dislike the drab design, even more so than the SBA.

I don't think they could have come up with a more boring, unimaginative design than that!!   07-03-2009, 04:10 PM   #6 (permalink) AdamL Likes Silver     Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Missouri Posts: 3,480 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by coleguy Thats a tough one, Stain.

Now I love them. The design/coin I like least is the Morgan Dollar... just a big boring coin that anyone can find pretty much at any show. __________________ My 1908-S Indian Head Cent Grading Set http://tinyurl.com/bbzy8y My 1909 Mint Registry Set http://tinyurl.com/dj7nbg   06-30-2009, 09:53 PM   #8 (permalink) mark_h Numismatist     Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 6,186 I don't hate any, but a couple are not my favorites - like IKE dollars. __________________ the other mark Best Baan Community Empty airtite seeks unwanted coins.

I know what they were trying to do, I think, but it stands out as an example of what a bureauracy can accomplish when they really focus. __________________ ANA - MSNS - EAC - SLCC - NLOC "A penny hit by lightning is worth six cents" Opie Taylor   06-30-2009, 10:45 PM   #14 (permalink) RUFUSREDDOG Senior Member     Join Date: May 2009 Location: Bluegrass Posts: 262 My Mood: Blog Entries: 1 Quote: Originally Posted by Danr SBA's used to bug me because they looked to much like quarters. wHAT HE SAID   06-30-2009, 10:37 PM   #15 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,314 My Mood: The Jefferson Nickels, they are very ugly, and they bring out my tough guy persona. Now some examples are nice, (Lehigh's For Instance) but I wouldn't ever start a set or anything, the only one I will ever buy will be for my type set. They are still ugly. 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. __________________ From The Desk Of, -T$ (Kokapowan Tribe Leader) http://www.tmoneyeagles.webs.com/   Page 1 of 5 1 2 3 4 5 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
