I happen to think the Barber series are about the ugliest coins the US has ever produced (yes, I think even the SBA is better, at least her gender is obvious. And it has a very nice reverse at least, not some eagle that looks like it hasn't been eating very well.) A lot of people disagree with me on that I'm sure. Though apparetly some contemporary sources agreed with my assessment lol... why the 1892 wasn't saved in great numbers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well actually if you count commems the Korean War commem is even uglier... don't know what they were thinking on that one...</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm sure the St. Gaudens isn't everyone's favorite, but I'm sure most people will admit that it's at least really good.
