<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 1323922, member: 22004&quot;]To me the criteria on the worst design would be:&nbsp; Where the artist had a chance to do something really aesthetic, original, and classic, and royally screwed up--why didn&#039;t the mint director at the time insist that the artist(s) go back to the drawing board?</p><p><br /></p><p>For gold coins--I have never liked the 1830s &quot;classic head&quot;.&nbsp; Compared to what came before and after the design is crappy IMO.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For silver coins, the three cent nickels takes the cake IMO.&nbsp; A really weird design, but I am open to reason, would like to hear the other side of the story.</p><p><br /></p><p>For copper coins, the increasing chinceyness of those.&nbsp; We went off copper in 1982 (and I knew the man largely responsible for that). </p><p><br /></p><p>The way things are going I wouldn&#039;t be surprized if we start having pop stars or billionaires like Warren Buffett or Bill Gates or the highest bidder, on our coins.&nbsp; :rollling:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
