<p>[QUOTE="1916D10C, post: 3266082, member: 97585"]I'm definitely not going to be among popular opinion here, but I think the Augustus Saint Gauden's $20 Gold Piece is one of the most banal, trite, and boring coin designs ever struck. Add to that fact, that the U.S. Mint ran the design into the ground on their Gold bullion coins, and every dealer and his brother wants to use it in their logo. In comparison, I think the earlier Gold Pieces in the OP are far prettier.</p><p><br /></p><p>ETA: The JFK Half Dollar is another one on my list of ugly coins. Kennedy didn't deserve to be hailed as a hero as he is now, much less be on a Coin. The clown had affairs in the White House, was responsible with the trade bargo with Cuba, if you read history, his whole family was composed of despicable people...... I don't like a single iota of what Kennedy stood for. He was a snake who successfully seduced and duped the American public, and his disgusting legacy lives on today. I have my share of JFK Halves I've gotten for face value, but I would never pay a penny over melt for one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
