Least favorite coin design ever

I think they have that whole theory down pat.

It's either the SBA Obverse or the Ike Dollar obverse. If I were left with one to choose, I'd probably choose the Ike to be the ugliest.

 

Yep Coinguy, Ike is not going to win a beauty contest. But, in my opine the beautiful reverse saves the coin from the worst.

 

I have to agree with you there, the reverse makes up for it. I like the posture of the Eagle.

 

I agree. I think the SBA obverse is the worst...especially when you consider the Liberty design that was ejected in favor of the SBA.

 

That's how I feel about the Kennedy Half. I don't feel the obverse is ugly I just think it's a very boring design. Much like the Roosevelt dime. But the reverse of the Kennedy half is beautiful, especially in a high grade.

 

That looks like a chicken on the reverse.

 

I dislike the Barber designs.

 

I like them in mid to high grades. The spaghetti haired Washington obverse is pretty bad too.

 

I think for ugly old ladies it's a tossup between SBA and the new Jefferson nickel.

 

i know i'll get boos and hisses for this but... my least favorite design is the morgan dollar. imo, it's very plain. barber coins come in a close second.

 

To me the idea of a commemorative for that event is disgusting. You don't commemorate tragedies. They are days that are supposed to live in infamy.

I suppose there are other sides to the argument, but it just does not sit well with me.

 

The Morgan Dollar is actually one of my favorite designs.

 

Did that bird come from Warner Bros?

 

Had no idea that a topic in this forum is about non-US coins as well. Anyway ...

A German €10 collector coin from 2002, celebrating 50 years of (regularly broadcast) television. Here for example http://www.muenzauktion.com/pollandt/pic/artid13096_combined.jpg is a larger image, but it does not really get any better.

I gotta go with Franklin halves. ugh
If I want to see a balding fatman, I will look in the mirror.

 

Barber coins.

 

SBA dollar. Looks like a commemorative to spinsterhood. And I don't even know if she was married or not.

 

I love franklin halves and I like the SBA quite a bit too, the coin I really dont like is the 1999 jefferson nickel

 

the best looking coin ever made is the 1964 jefferson
