    Since you asked, here goes: Ike dollar, Kennedy half (great rev though), washington quarter, Roosie dime, Jeff nickel, and Lincoln cent.
    Oh, and did I mention the Ike dollar...just awful. Yep, I guess that about covers it.

    While I would agree that it is not the most attractive coin, I'm gonig to have to say the proportions are all about as correct as they can be. She does have a left shoulder, I don't know how you can't see her hair is covering it...that's pretty obvious. Also, her forearms are both the same length, it may just look like they aren't because of the way her left wrist is bent, but still, I think that should be pretty obvious. I think there just may be something wrong with your vision, not the coin design.

    This isn't a real coin, is it?

    Very early coins where Ms. Liberty looks like something out of a horror movie.

    Peace dollar!

    ALL of the 'golden' dollars until we get to Eisenhower.

    SBA (obverse only).

    Franklin half = OK at best, but kinda boring compared to Walking Liberty (what isn't).

    I'm in the minority it seems but I like the Eisenhower dollars and Kennedy halves. I think the Ike would not have so many haters if the mint spent a little more time striking it. High end proofs are pretty nice, IMHO.
