Worst coin design ever??

I think the worst coin design ever made would be the Shield Nickel and SBA Dollar. What is your opinion?

Prez dollars

 

I think shield nickels rock!

Um...picking a single coin; probably agree with you on the SBA.

 

I like susan b's. Especially high grade toned examples. The worst imho is the ike dollar.

 

For me I think it was the Ike Dollar!

I like Ike, but I did not like the Dollar!

Sba

 

Personally I like Shield Nickels.

What does "worst" mean? Ugly? Unpopular?

Probably the biggest failure of any US coin is the SBA Dollar. Ugly and unpopular.

Yes - shield nickels rock. I am not sure what my least favorite design is - new prez dollars, ikes..can really decide.

 

IMHO the franklin half is downright ugly. But I think the worst are between the prez and sacagewea dollars.

 

This is likely to be an unpopular opinion, but I dislike Lincoln cents, Jefferson nickels, Roosevelt dimes, Washington quaters - anything with a real person on it. Our coinage was far more beautiful when allegorical figures of Liberty graced it. I hope some day those days return.

 

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not Jefferson nickels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay....Breathe.......

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I love Jeffersons, but I totally see your point, and I guess I have to agree with you. Early American coinage is extremely beautiful, and modern coinage is blah. I have no comeback to that argument.

Um...

Early pieces are too expensive! I'm going to go look at my toned MS-67 full-step Jeffersons now.

 

Ugly.

 

That at least I can't argue with. I recently purchased something that is not an early copper just for a change. I can't wait for it to show up. It has real people on it, but it is not a coin, so I'm not being a hypocrite.

Really.

 

Ugly, huh? OK, I would say the SBA and the entire series of Prez Dollars.

 

2009 sac dollars

 

SBA's. I like Shield Nickels too.

 

I like the prez $!!!

I love the state quarters as a seriese, but I think it's disgusting what they did to washington... Giving him spagheti hair ;(

 

I don't like the way the new dollars tone so fast and ugly.

 

I agree, prez and sba are pretty boring/uninteresting.
