Poll: Favorite presidential portrait on circulating coin?

RedTiger

It is Presiden'ts day. On circulating coins, the big five are:
Lincoln cent
Jefferson nickel
Roosevelt dime
Washington quarter
Kennedy half

Franklin half (not a president but he has his fans too).

Eisenhower dollar (oops, sorry about that, I added Ike to the poll).

There are the presidential dollars, but I am excluding them from the poll. If people want to add images from commems, other old currency, tokens, medals, with interesting presidential portraits please go ahead.

On circulating currency:
Washington $1
Jefferson $2
Lincoln $5
Hamilton $10 (not a president)
Jackson $20
Grant $50
Franklin $100 (not a president)

Lincoln is my favorite Pres. my favorite coin, and my favorite "car", (I work for Ford!) Actually, my favorite car is now the Ford Taurus. I just bought one.

Franklin here actually despite his lack of president-dudeness. Half bald, half mullett, rocks it like a boss.

1. Kennedy (although I dislike the reverse of the half dollar)
2. Jefferson
3. Lincoln
4. Washington
5. Roosevelt (although I might like it better if it were larger)

Lincoln by far.... however, I have a lot of the AH Kennedy's and a nice collection of Franklin's... Cheers, RickO

I like Franklin the best, perhaps because he is not a President, perhaps because it's an obsolete issue, perhaps because it's a larger coin, perhaps because I have a complete set of Frankies and have owned it since I was 13-or all of the above!

For the currency, I like the Jackson portrait. He looks somewhat startled to be there.

Yeah, The 2009 Lincoln Silver Dollar looks like the "warden, that was painted by a prisoner" in the movie " Escape from Alcatraz". Check it out. See if you don't agree?

I like the Lincoln portrait on the Illinois commem... obviously not a choice provided here, but still a great portrait

I'm a fan and collector of Lincoln Cents, but always thought Jefferson was handsome on the nickel.

Hey, where's Eisenhower?

What about Eisenhower???

Despite my love for and specialization in Ike dollars, I would have still selected none of the above, even if it had been on the list of options. I think US circulation strike coins without Presidents are more artistically pleasing.

Well said, I concur.
