Forgot to add that the coins would not be made of silver. Ha ha ha. Never thought of that! That would make them my choice too!

The old pennies are my favorite.

In that case, make it the indian head cent unless it's a zincian cent.

I would love to see the Mercury dime restored in place of the Roosevelt dime.

(I'd like to see 90% silver restored, too!)

or ?

Not even close!

I didn't vote in this pole, as I would like to see a Flying Eagle...

Flying Eagle added. And of course, the Indian Head pennies would not be made of zinc!

Voted for the Flying Eagle, its just so understated.

My issue is not so much with modern designs but the relief at which they are struck. The state quarters, new design nickels and cents are all so flat, with little relief. What I like about coins made before the early 80's is the higher relief.

It was hard to choose just one design.
But certainly my lineup would be these designs, struck in their original relief, not modern "flattened" versions:
Indian Head Cent
Buffalo Nickel (incuse date to prevent wearing off)
Mercury Dime
Standing Liberty Quarter (also with incuse date)
Walking Liberty Half
Peace Dollar (downsized to current dollar size, plain rim) in conjunction with the elimination of the paper dollar.

I also favor bringing back the $2.5 and $10 Indian Head Gold Coins. These could be base metal coins, maybe making the $2.5 a $2 coin and the $10 coin a $5 denomination.
