I am glad no one has chosen any of the dead president coins. From cent to half dollar they have been minted since 1909, 1938, 1946, 1932 and 1964.
The dead president coins need to die and be replaced with something else that represents the best aspects of the USA.
Liberty for example.
Really. Our modern coin designs, along with paper money designs are hideous compared to older coinage and paper designs. As for paper, put a real gold certificate greenback alongside a newer bill and compare.

A Type 1 Standing Liberty Quarter would be at the top of my list.

No way to chose only two. In no particular order (behind the Peace dollar, of course):
Peace Dollar - both sides
$20 Saint - both sides
$10 Indian - obverse
Buff Nickel - both sides
Sac $1 - obverse
Oregon - both sides
Pilgrim - both sides
Columbian - reverse
Merc 10c - obverse
Flowing hair / Small eagle
Walker 50c - both sides
SLQ - obverse
3CN - obverse (severely underrated)
Ike/SBA - reverse
No stars seated half dime & dime - obv
Sorry, guess I like most of them.
Except for the SBA & Ike reverse, they’re all >90 year-old designs
Strange, nobody has said 2c or shield nickel.
Silver eagles. And Dan Carr.
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
I've seen some patterns that are stunning.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
The mighty buffalo nickel. What’d ya think I was gonna say
Not claiming that these are the most beautiful of coin designs, but they are among my "favorites" given that they are mine.

1934 George V Wreath Crown.
One thing to remember is that sometimes the eye appeal makes all the difference in the world.
Fav world and US modern..
