[QUOTE="rodeoclown, post: 1324050, member: 34005"]I just don't think it was a really thought out design. I might think it's ugly but it doesn't stop me from collecting them. ;) As for the Roosevelt, I almost picked that one but I actually like the reverse design, not so much the obverse. So the reverse is what saved it from making my top 3. The only reason I didn't go with the Presidential is, I see it as more of an educational coin and I can't just say Presidential dollars as not all are bad, maybe some of those schmucks are ugly but that's not the coin engravers fault, they're just depicting what the President looked like from a portrait. I'd have to say the Kennedy half is up there as well, probably 4th or 5th on my list. The reverse isn't horrible but the obverse is not great either. I think we'd have better looking coins though if we just did away with Presidential profile or portrait type shots on the coins on our regular circulated coinage.[/QUOTE]
