The PRESIDENTIAL DOLLARS!!!! The design is horrible. I also REALLY hate how they put the date on the edge of the coin.

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. |

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.

The proposed 2010 Lincoln reverse. I don't think they could have come up with a more boring, unimaginative design than that!!

Guy~ | I agree with all of that. I don't hate any of them. But I really don't like Barbers. Liberty looks like a dude.

Guy~ | I used to not like Barbers very much... until I bought a few really nice ones!!! 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.

I don't hate any, but a couple are not my favorites - like IKE dollars.

The ASE set...proof and uncirculated
and
The statehood quarters.
Now dont get me wrong, I have complete collections of the UNC ASE and the complete state series, but i just dont' like them....collecting them is only because it completes my sets.
I do like the idea of the prez's some work coulda been done oin them, but I like the premise....the Forgotten President Collection? lol

If I had to choose I'm going to say I dislike the SBA. 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.

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.
