IMO the reverses of the Walker and Seated Liberty halves are the most beautiful.

 

Best reverse is this eagle:



Best reverse for a paper bill is:

 

The Winged Liberty dime, SLQ, Walking Liberty half, Peace Dollar, $10 Indian, and $20 Saint Gaudens are the most beautiful coins the US ever minted.

 

I think had JFK not died and been placed on the half, they would have done away with the half when they went from silver to clad. Kennedy and the lasting impression he had then and now are all that saved that denomination from going the way of the half cent. It's not like today where Congress can't make a rational decision on anything at all.
