What are the 3 ugliest coin designs by the US Mint?

[paigow_johnny]

3) Reverse of the Ohio .25

 

 

As a native Buckeye, I gotta agree with you. Not one hint of the Buckeye State...the "Birthplace of Presidents"...no they have to continue to try and fool themselves about this "aviation pioneers" . NOBODY, except possibly the families of Neil Armstrong and the Wright Brothers, think of Ohio when they think of aviation. Ohio had one really nice design submitted which included a cardinal (state bird) and a buckeye branch...but no we had to use the moon man and a stolen clip from the NC quarter.

And my picks...

 

1. tie SBA and Sacajacrappa

2. Peace dollar...I just can't seem to warm up to that one...

3. Trade dollar...has potential, but I just can't see it. Maybe if I'd see a reaaly gem one.

 

Honorary mention to the Shriver dollar...(as a commem I didn't put it in the regular category...butt ugly)...and Barber quarters/halves...(love the obverse, but don't care much for the reverse.)

Ohio "moon man" = "hang man". !

Just choose three of the modern Mint products. You know, the modern commems or state quarters.

2. Ike

3. The liberty five dollar gold piece. That woman with no cheekbones is just plain weird!

[paigow_johnny]

1. SBA dollar

2. SBA dollar

3. (tie) SBA and Special Olympics modern commem

 

Honorable "I hate this coin" mention to Sac dollar...

[shirohniichan]

[coppercoins-migration]

1. SBA dollar

2. Jefferson Nickel

3. All of the statehood quarter designs save Connecticut...that one's nice.

[paigow_johnny]

You're right about Connecticut...simple concept but boy it shows up nice. I really like Virginia's as well, but then I'm a ship guy...

I have to disagree with you, Prowler, that the Flowing Hair design was among the worst. Yes, I think that the Drapped Bust was an improvement, but in high grade the coins do have their charms.

 

Check out the attached picture of the 1794 half dime.

BJ,

 

Your coin is very nice looking, but I still don't like the design. I live in Manhattan, and grew up in NJ. Around here, we see lots of women from the outer boroughs and the surrounding 'burbs whom we affectionately refer as having wind-tunnel tested hairdos. (They're also what we can the bridge-n-tunnel crowd.)

 

That's what that design reminds me of...
