    I don't really like Liberty nickels or most of the modern series.

    Also not a specific series but pretty much hate any key date for any series especially 20th century. I don't think any of them are actually rare (the 1901-S 25C may be an exception) but still get the "key date" tag and get inflated beyond belief.

    I don't dislike any until they are well worn. Liberty nickels, Franklins and a few others turn really ugly once most of the detail is gone.

    I think you have the ability to stop it.

    Thinking about the Ike and Churchill coins reminded me of this one...not that I hate it, but it is weird...

    Anything mass-produced with little variety is boring to me. Early US coins have enough variety and hand-made charm to make them interesting.

    I'm really not too fond of the first installment of the American Innovators $1 series.

    This is about as bland of a coin that the mint has ever put out. I hope that subsequent installments vastly improve upon this design.

    I actually like that. Love? Maybe not. But I think it's a decent modern design.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    Woof. I'm going to disagree. That's a barf of cliches, random text, janky angles, and ugly design. I'm actually legitimately ashamed that the Mint would put that junk out.

    It may be better than their first attempts, but there is absolutely nothing good about that atrocity.

    It's not something I would ever buy. Poor way to start a program.

    It's valid criticism. I see your points, though my stance is less negative on it.
    Well, OK, when you get right down to it, I wouldn't buy it either, since there's so much other stuff I find more interesting and appealing. So there ya go.

    I just don't vehemently hate the design, is all.

    I just can't..... That obverse design with all the empty space looks like it should be in a pumpkin carving kit, not on a coin. In contrast, the reverse is way too "busy". Bleh.

    With few exceptions anything post 1945 and Barber coinage - seriously liberty looks like a Victorian era drag queen.

    That is completely irrelevant.

    Franklin Halves should have never happened.
    Add to that the fact they're over-priced and it makes it even worse.

    If you own a Franklin Half you're a bad person in real life.

    Yeah, this...and for me, there is a large gap to the next least favorite! :smug::smug::D:eek:

    The newer obv. design of Jefferson 5c is hideous.

    I've never been a fan of Roosevelt dimes or the older Washington quarters. The new Washington quarters, since the start of the statehood series, have got my interest, though.
