Least favorite obverse design on a US coin?

We all love our Walking Liberty, Morgan, Mercury designs, but what is your LEAST favorite obverse design? I’m a fan of Eisenhower dollars, but that obverse is ehhhh in my opinion. I also dislike the Susan B Anthony obverse. Lame imo! Happy Sacagawea came into the picture.

I am not particularly crazy about either the obverse or the reverse of the first "American Innovators" dollar, here shown with the obverse on the right.

It looks like some of the subsequent issues may have improved somewhat upon this first design, thankfully.

 

The modern Jefferson nickel. Arghhhh

 

Effigy Mounds Quarters

 

The U.S. Mint should've just kept Felix Schlag's obverse design at the end of the Westward Journey program.

 

1792 half disme.

 

Pretty much all of the modern U.S. coins. We are so overdue for new designs.

Morgan dollar also sucks.

 

The Sacagawea dollars have always underwhelmed me. There was a chance to make a radical statement about inclusiveness on coins, and it came out looking like it was designed by committee.

 

Idk, I think the reverse is quite good.

 

Morgan dollar
I HATE the obverse.
Shame, too, because I think it has one of the best for circulation reverses in US mint history

 

Shield nickel, Susan B Anthony dollar, half disme, Trade dollar, and the capped bust half dollar from 1834 and on.

 

I'll make it simple, anything new.

 

I really don't like the President bust coinage which started with the Lincoln cent. All of it has been around way too long and it's quite boring to me.

 

I'm a bit ashamed to admit it, but the Liberty Seated obverse has never really done a lot for me. I'm not a big Morgan fan, either. But I'll take either in a heartbeat over dead (or, for that matter, living) Presidents.

 

Those which lack LIBERTY, like the Two-Cent.

 

Sure is. The thread title doesn't say anything about which obverses are terrible on coins with good reverses though.

 

I actually quite like the only obverse of a US coin showing a living (at the time) US President. Can you name it?

 

I agree with your thoughts on the obverse. When I first saw it, I was a bit disappointed. The Statue of Liberty's been a bit overused and if they really wanted it, maybe they could feature an image from a different, and more dramatic perspective. Also, a curious incongruity for me: Why does a series that celebrates American innovation feature a landmark made in a foreign country on its obverse?

 

I think I may have the answer if it ended up to be a non-circulating coin?

 

I could, but I struck out on naming the actual President.
