    Eisenhower dollar and Flowing Hair Cent are the top two in my opinion. Jefferson on the new nickels follow a close third.

    In my opinion any of the '83 and after Lincoln ZINC PENNY. Soon after distribution they begin to look terrible. Not worth collecting unless they are in sealed mint condition uncirculated. Sorry Abe

    You’re asking for trouble calling on the Mint for new “designs.”

    Low relief and lousy strikes.

    I say it can't get any worse than it already is but I know better. Just when you think it can't, it does. Lol

    Anything with a dead president in it. I’m no modern fan. Of classic designs the liberty nickel and barber designs are not favorites of mine

    After reading all of the comments, my dislike would be the standing liberty quarter. Not so much the design itself ,but the fact that from the early 60's when I started collecting, you could hardly find one in circulation with a readable date. The reverse was okay, they just couldn't stand up to the wear. I don't even have a respectable piece in my collection.

    The Standing Liberty Quarter is a beautiful coin in Mint State or AU, but in the circulated grades, I don’t find them attractive.

    I know I'm in the minority, but I don't really like the Morgan. Draped Bust is my favorite.
