ikaros Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 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 1985 Spain 25 Pesetas Reverse is just boring, a crown the denomination and the date in a star, and that is it, no coat of arms, or extra details, just a bit bland.

Art1.2 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Ik's nickel gets my vote. I'm not fond of the obverse design of that coin. Come to think of it, the reverse while nice for many years, is do for an update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
