The worst favorite is easy; the V-nickel. My favorite is harder but I'll go with the Liberty Walking half dollar.

 

i could see from the photo that the cat has attitude, i like that. my cat is named midnite, she is a black and white cat, she was born without the ability to meow, but she makes odd noises instead. she likes rock and metal music and runs and jumps around the house when she hears the stereo. ted nugent seems to be one of her favorites.

 

Love it I have 3 Merlin my newest Freaky my oldest and shadow the youngest all black shadow part maine coon freaky and Merlin both part Siamese double pawed and mouthy I used to have Salem a big 7 toed diabetic black cat that traveled all over the country with me all of mine have heard rock and metal all their lives as it's on at my house constantly

 

Hmmm is it me, or does it sound like someone needs to post a picture of a coin with a cat on it on this thread?

 

Have at it I think that was a previous thread actually

 

Of course he grabs the $20 gold I can do a cat with coins

 

Least favorite (and homely): Morgan dollar

Favorite: Today I'll say SLQ

 

The Oregon Trail half dollar on posting#10 would be close to the top of my list along with many of the other classic commemoratives. Also I like the designs on early half cents and large cents. As for ones I don't like, I think the "Billy Beer" analogy somebody made earlier fits very well with a lot of the statehood quarter designs. Some of the modern commemoratives also leave a lot to be desired.

 

Favorite: Walking Liberty and Peace
Least: Hmmm I'm going to say all the Barber's (just the obverse though, can I do that?)

 

Favorites: peace dollar, walking Liberty half, wheat penny
Least favorite: current nickel (obverse only, the reverse is fine)

 

The reality is the coins we've minted really went downhill in the mid to late 20th c first their no longer silver or copper and most important they went from having attractive women on them to ugly old men

 

Say it ain't so Brandon!!! LOL.

That's the great thing about this hobby. There are plenty of designs to attract ones affections.

 

Fav: Bust $1/2's & flowing hair $1/2's

least: Anything since 1964, esp the states quarters, SBA's, Ikes, Saki's, Pres $1's, etc.
