[QUOTE="phubanks, post: 887085, member: 23286"]Just curious what you all think is the most beautiful US Coin Design for each major denomination (not including half or large cents, 2, 3 cents, 1/2 dimes, 20 cent pieces nor gold). Listed below are my top choices in terms of artistic beauty for each denomination. It's interesting that 5 of the 6 were being minted in the 20's and 30's ... I guess that would make the early 1900's the golden age of coin design in my book. The walker half design has actually lost a little bit of appeal for me because i have seen so many tens of thousands of ASE's with the same design -- but its still hard to beat. The morgan dollar was tempting but i actually love some of the old dollars from the 1790s (esp the small eagle back) The other tough one for me was the shield nickel that I have always liked, however the buffalo is such a romantic design rich in history.
