I think the Walking Liberty Half is the most beautiful coin series.

I'd have to go with the Mercury Dime. It's small, doesn't need to be a showoff and are absolutely gorgeous in proof!

Are commemoratives included? If not, then the Indian Head Nickle is probably the best by far!

I'm not saying that some are not pretty or beautiful, but it is the first of a designed coin that was nice on both sides.
All other coinage before were re-hashed designs of the same old motifs. Barber was the worse for using others designs with a slight change.
So Indian Head nickles are by far the most beautiful in design and thought!
Of cousre that would change if we throw in Commemoratives, than that list would be more than one coin!

CCU, that's one of the prettiest toners I've ever seen. It reminds me of this similar beauty.

There's something about the simple beauty of the flowing hair design, especially when it's as well preserved as forum member Nic's Wreath Cent (his image):

The Best US Coin Is the 1913 V Nickel. It is good looking and rare at the same time. And on top of that there are only 5 of them.

Oldtrader3 · July 13, 2003 4:34AM

Overall, I would vote for Saints as being the most beautiful coin. However, I really like Standing Lib's, Buff's and the Laura Fraser Washington Commem. as well.

Shamika · July 13, 2003 5:38AM

BUFFALO NICKEL!!!!!!

KlectorKid · July 13, 2003 5:43AM

Its easily the 3 cent silver.

I'll pop a vote in for Gobrecht dollars. Seated coin meets FEC the outcome beauty.

haletj · July 13, 2003 7:24AM

I agree, 1836 Gobrecht Dollar, 2nd... Flying Eagle Cents!

I really like standing Liberty quarters too, why they don't get as much attention as Walking Halves I don't understand? I never liked Walkers or Saints that much, now that I have some nice Walkers though I admit I do like them, maybe someday when I finally own a Saint, I will like them more too.

Kennedy Half Dollar hands down.
