Least favorite obverse design on a US coin?

Calvin Coolidge along with George Washington on the 1926 Sesquicentennial half dollar if I recall correctly.

Although I can't afford it, for me, it's the "very scary lady." The Flowing Hair large cents, both chained and wheat reverses.

I'd forgotten about that one. Looks like there were 2.

 

Not to mention the Alabama commemorative half dollar also features a depiction of the then incumbent governor.

 

I am glad someone said it because I agree, not a fan of the Morgan dollar. It's quite unattractive.

 

Liberty stuck a fork in the electrical socket

 

New Jefferson Nickel is horrible. I also hate Zinc but that's another thread.

 

The 1926 Philadelphia Sesquicentennial half dollar had the conjoined busts of Washington and Calvin Coolidge on the obverse. I don’t think that it was a bad design, but the execution in low relief was poor.

 

If you are selling that at a price I can afford, I will happily take that “ugly coin” off your hands.

 

Any half cent or large cent. Every female depiction in those series is quite ugly...but that has not stopped me from collecting large cents....

 

I have several

This Lincoln portrait could have been used in a book called Lincoln the Vampire Slyer that was introduced years ago.



Every time I look at this Ronald Reagan portrait, it reminds me of Bug Bunny.



Few collectors ever see or handle these coins because they are very scarce and expensive, but this Capped Bust $2.50 gold coin is among the ugliest this country ever issued.



Ditto for this Capped Bust, Large Size $5.00 gold design.



Among the commemorative coins, both sides of the Capital Visitors' Center Half Dollar are the pits. When I first saw this obverse, I thought that the coin was damaged.



Two "artists" took credit for the reverse. Is this really the best you could do?

 

And Nolan Ryan has a commemorative

 

None of the dime designs with the exception of the seated liberty and bust designs have done much for me.
Sorry mercury lovers they are okay but not great in my eyes.

 

It reminded me of a different cartoon character, one from MTV in the 1990s.

 

I would happily buy it at a price I could afford. Even if the design is unattractive, it is still charming and historic

 

I cheated by Googling it, so I won't post it!
Was it a circulating coin?

 

I still don't think of the US Philippines coins as "US coins", even though I own a few. My problem, I know.

 

I'm going to have to agree on this one.

 

No, the Philadelphia Sesquicentennial Half Dollar was a commemorative that was sold for more than its face value. Many of them were returned to the mint and melted. None were dumped into circulaiton which was done with the Columbian and Monroe half dollars.
