[QUOTE="Prime Mover, post: 1886694, member: 38783"]Quite honestly the opposite. I don't disagree that the series is ugly. In fact I don't consider them very pretty either as far as their designs go. However I disagree with his assertion to not collect the series just because he thinks it ugly, and does not provide any reasoning beyond that as to why that would cause the series to improve or decline in value. Just because a series is not ugly and is popular does not guarantee appreciation in value. Tell me how well that's working out for the state quarters. They're infinitely more popular than Ike's but that popularity seems to not be doing much for their appreciation. Please do not take this as a slight towards you. I know you like ancients. I personally do not. This is a matter of our own personal opinions and tastes. However I do respect that those types of coins may have inherent reasons for appreciating or depreciating in cost, completely unrelated to what i think of them personally.
