[QUOTE="TheCoinGeezer, post: 1377991, member: 34700"]1: [COLOR=#333333][FONT=Arial]Special Olympics Commem. - Hideous, just hideous obverse. The reverse is just uninspired. Overall the ugliest coin I've ever seen, regardless of country. 2: Susie B. dollar - another butt ugly old bag on the obverse. The reverse is OK though. 3: Any of the Presidential dollars - I liked the original Shell Oil medallions better! ;) I like Ike dollars and think Ike looks just fine on the obverse. Both style reverses are attractive also. Then there are designs that, while not actually ugly, are just plain and not attractive: shield nickels, 2 cent pieces and any of the 3 cent pieces immediately come to mind. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder and taste can not be disputed. [/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE]
