<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2299122, member: 26302&quot;]I hear what you are saying [USER=33176]@Kentucky[/USER] about how unattractive worn barbers are. However, to me, a worn barber is proof of the superiority of the coin design. Most coins worn to AG are much worst, and most are missing dates and other aspects of the coin. A worn barber is proof of Barber&#039;s excellence in coin design. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course a BU barber is much more attractive, but I would never put a BU barber ahead of a lot of other attractive US coins. However, I would use a worn Barber as an example of truly spectacular technical coin design. These coins were worn for 50+ years and still had full coin details. A beautiful early SL quarter lost its date in a couple of years. Many VG buffalo nickels, while being a spectacular artistic achievement, also are dateless. </p><p><br /></p><p>Btw my answers on this thread were US choices simply because I expected mostly US answers. I doubt many would know my three favorite designs today if I listed them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
