Top Three Worst Coin Designs

I was wondering if I was the only one was getting sick of hearing/reading about his supposed multi-million $ coin! :bangg:

SAC's (Remind me again why they're still making them; please don't!)
V-Nickels (Ugly!!!!!!!!!!!)
New Jefferson Nickels (Stop Looking at me!)

 

Remind me again why they are minting BILLIONS of Lincoln Cents per year and printing BILLIONS in paper dollars. If the Govt. can justify those, then they can certainly justify the 100-200 million or so Presidential/SAC dollars. The problem is the paper dollar, not the dollar coin.

 

That's the problem. It only stops being ugly in grades I can't afford.

 

Almost forgot about the new Jefferson nickels. Horrid...absolutely horrid !!

 

I like Barbers in any grade

 

SBA
IKE's
national park quarters (I liked with the state one's but this took it too far)

 

I really don't think that's the ugliest coin design. I do, however, think that that is the ugliest woman ever!

 

My nominations for the 3 worst designs

2009 Lincoln cent
2010 Lincoln cent
2011 Lincoln cent and all successive years until they stop making them.

That's a woman?!

 

I wouldn't say they are the ugliest but the worst design was the buffalo nickel I just feel that they should have recessed the date so that us collectors wouldn't have to buy expensive grades to have a full date.

 

2004 up Jeffersons
All pennies after 1959
And Washington Quarters including the ugly state quarters

 

I like SBA dollars! *Grabs frame shield*

 

I hope that some of this distaste for certain coins designs is contrived to elicit shocking answers.

Ms. Anthony and Ms. Shriver were not beautiful women, but they were very important in their respective spheres of American history and politics and both deserved immortalization in coinage.

 

i like the buffalo nickel, the way its design. that olympic coin mat posted thats ugly!

 

Ike Dollars, 1932-98 Washington Quarters, Kennedy halves.

 

Jumped to the end of the thread so I didn't read everyone's, but I have a good one. How about the reverse of the Flowing Hair Dollar 1794-1795? What is that long necked, scrawny bird? I hope I didn't commit heresy by saying so.

the original Jefferson nickel obverse

I also have to say the SBA. Even in proof, it doesn't help, and I think everything looks great in proof.

 

MY LIST:
1 State/Park Quarters 1999-date
2 Jefferson nickels 2005-date
3 All Dollar coins 1979- date
Just wish they would put liberty back on a coin instead of these ugly ones...

 

amen!!

 

I like SBAs, Ikes and Sacs! The Sacs are my favorite amongst current circulating coinage.

Some coinage I think is ugly would be:

Braided Hair large cent
Silver three cent
Matron head (1816-1835) large cent
