  Anything Barber and the SBAs. A whole lot of the modern commems are ugly, and a fair number of the state quarters are design-by-committee failures.

  I'm not very fond of Washington quarters or Jefferson nickels. That's just another thing that's great about this hobby, there are plenty of collectors who them as much as I early commems.

  ...There's always time for coin collecting.

  I've always thought Barbers look like a woman on steroids and the Morgans were too common to be interesting. Tiny coins are a turn off too - especially the 3c pieces.

  Most post-1964 coinage leaves me yawning.
  
  Morgan dollars are nice coins and I like them, but there are so many of them I sometimes get sick of seeing them. The same can be said for Saints. Gorgeous coins, but if you went to a coin show and all the Morgans or Saints suddenly disappeared into thin air there would be a helluva lot of empty or near-empty dealer cases in the room.
  
  Go to most major shows and you will see more Morgans and Saints than anything else. I imagine the grading services get tired of seeing them, too.
  
  Well, okay, maybe it's just me.
  
  Mind you, I wouldn't mind seeing just one or two Saints in my own cases about now- it's been a while since I had any.

  I really like the new nickels! I like tiny 3 cent silver coins. I like Barber's designs. I like Frankies, Peace and Morgan Dollars.
  
  I just don't like worn down or weakly struck coins where I can't make out all the details.

  I would say the two worst designs are the Barber head coins and the SBA dollars.
  
  If I had to pick one as the worst its the Barber because let's face it, that's either a dude or an East German female athlete, circa 1980's.

  I hate to be a party pooper, but most of them do nothing for me as far as their design goes. If I had to collect strictly out of the aesthetics of art, it would be Standing Liberty Quarters, Indian Half Eagles, Indian Eagles, and classic commems. The rest are just coins...take-em or leave-em. That includes Lincoln cents.

  Forty years I despised Barbers. Now I l collect Barber quarters and can really appreciate a beautiful specimen.
  Thirty years ago I couldn't stand Washington's then it became my second favorite design and I collected them for years.
  Same for $20 liberty gold. I would only collect Saint's then 15-20 years ago I am at a show and see a $20 lib I bought
  and it all changed. Now I only collect gold in $20 liberties. Same for commems. Moral of the story, it's just possible
  some of you may be eating your words one day. There is one coin that doesn't cut it with me, three cent pieces.
  The most gorgeous design? SLQ Type 1. I think 99% of you would agree with me on that one.
