Post-'68 canadian dimes are pretty ugly.. get your hopes up that you found silver...

Susan B. Anthony by far is the worst coin in US history.

Orange marked halves!

Susan B Anthony's and the post 64 canadian cent, young head portrait? to me it makes it seem likes its a 150 year old coin but really only a 50 year old coin

I think the Sacajawea dollar coins and the James Madison presidential dollar coin. I mean seriously, what mother could love a face like JM's? Lol... :laughing7:

1964 nickels for 3 reasons. There's tons of them; the metal is weird so they appear to be war nickels most of the time from the edge; they make me think "if only this were a box of half dollars" gerrrr!

others include: susan b obviously, 1965 quarters, 1965 dimes, 1971 halves.

Of course the "Agony" Dollar is number 1.

Number 2 would have to be the Churchill Crown (Although I like the obverse of Queen Elizabeth II)

Number 3 would have to be the "Bull Head" obverse design of King George III

Number 4 would have to be any of the modern presidential dollar coins

And number 5 would have to be the zinc Lincoln cents (especially the bicentennial ones!)

I second the 1964 nickels, I have been excited a few time only to be let down once they were date-checked.

I know I'll be in the minority here, but to me, the obverse of the Barber coins are terribly ugly. I certainly do like seeing them pop out of the ground though. I would imagine that its equally exciting to see one appear in a roll, although that hasn't happened to me yet.

+1. I was afraid to say it first.
