I can not rank them:headbang: as all are the World Best designs of the time!!!

 

Here are some designs I like, but not usually considered "beautiful" my most:
1. Washington Quarters (great classic design overshadowed by the more exotic Standing Liberty)
2. Seated Liberty Halves (very good looking but it's a shame the same design was used on quarters, dimes, and half dimes)
3. Liberty Double Eagle (I like Saints too, but the Liberty design is very underrated

 

Silver dollar: Peace is a bit prettier than the Morgan,in my opinion, though the Morgan has better history/collectibility. Gobrecht is cool, but only a dream for most

Half: Walking Liberty. Reverse is awesome. Obverse is also pretty good

Quarter: Washington! good looking design, though not all that exciting. SLQ is overrated, does not wear well at all

Dime: I will say Seated Liberty (underrated design) , followed by "Mercury"

Nickel: Buffalo

Small cent: Lincoln Wheat (Memorial is not bad, I just love the Wheats)

Honorable mention: Barber coins are not bad, get a bad rap because they were used simultaneously on dimes (with different reverse), quarters, and halves. Kennedy and Franklins halves are both fairly nice.

 

Walking Lib for me...with a close 2nd to SLQ
