ikaros Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Ugly Coin Competition 2014 Ugly By Design I'm Not Bad, I'm Just Engraved That Way 1971 and After ikaros' 2009D US Nickel The US Mint, in their "wisdom", dispensed with the dignified if slightly dull Felix Schlag design and the really, really nice "peekaboo" obverse from the Westward Ho series, in order to give us Nancy Kulp as Thomas Jefferson. And of course, like all other current American coins, it has all the depth and sculpting of a washer. vs ScottO's 1977 Hungary 2 Forint Not a bad design, but the obverse design in its position just looks odd, would look better more central instead of pushed down.
