Least Favorite Coin

Well, for most of the posters in this thread in 2005, their my Profile page shows their latest activity in the 2006-2010 range. Cloudsweepeer99 is the only poster from then who is still an active poster.

I thought about posting something like that to our new comrade in Texas, however, I thought an additional post plus a non-public PM would be the better approach.

Besides, it's Halloween. What better time to "necropost" than now?

I'd get eaten alive in those game forums.

 

I personally do not like the new lincoln cents 2010-present. I liked the memorial reverse.

 

I myself really like the shield design and the old wheats.

 

I know I'm probably in the minority, but I also find the shield design FAR SUPERIOR to the Lincoln Memorial reverse alla 1959-2008.

As primarily a type-set collector, there is no circulation coinage that I would deem unworthy of my collection. The only thing I can think of that I find banal and boring is all of the pro-military and uninspired recent commemorative coins the US Mint has been putting out. I'm so sick of these -- there must be something historically we can commemorate besides wars and military. (yawn)

 

Sorry to you modern collectors,but I really don't like modern stuff thats not bullion.

 

Now if we just knew what your personal definition of "modern" was. Many of the ancients collectors define "modern" to be anything created past 1500 or 1600. What arbitrary cut-off have you used?

 

That a good point! A would probably define modern as post '64, but you're right it really does depend on what you collect.

 

I don't agree with this. Most people that collect things, pay for their items. You're certainly not going to collect much besides contemporary US coinage if you restrict yourself to pocket change finds. A true collector will want to expand their horizons beyond such a limitation.

 

These. Any graded bullion coins, really. I'm not a huge fan of slabs at all actually, even though i'm doing a PF SBA set at the moment...

 

You like the coin, just not the slab?

 

yeah, it's a nice coin. I have a few. but it's not exactly rare in high grades

 

That is true, but they are beautiful if not expensive/rare.

 

Just a couple: Coins with fingerprints. I don't care if they are MS if I see evidence of a fingerprint it's an automatic turnoff toward that coin. Second, and I haven't read it through previous posts so I'm sure I'm in the minority, Jefferson Nickles. Awful looking coin that does not interest me at all. Although I have several handed down to me, I'm most likely never going to seek them out for the portfolio.

 

I can't stand finger prints either. Sometimes it takes an otherwise beautiful coin and uglifies it.

 

Hands down, the presidential dollar coin series. The only reason I have them is because they come with the current proof sets. Does anyone here actually like these? With the overwhelming public opposition to dollar coinage, who thought it was a good idea to commit to 40+ different designs with mintage figures in the hundreds of millions on top of the current Sac dollar?

 

I haven't bought a Franklin half in years bc it reminds me of Philly and I am a Mets fan

 

Not baseball again,

 

Mercifully it will be over soon, the world series starts tomorrow

 

Who is in the World Series?
