As a “remote and digital” member engagement activity during December 2020 and January 2021 the RRVCC gave members an opportunity to nominate the Worst US Coin designs, in their opinion. At the January 5th meeting we reviewed these nominations. • 3 patterns, 1 commemorative and 10 circulating coins were nominated. • It appears that members of the RRVCC do not like Dollar Coins. • View this doc and see for yourself. Worst Coin Designs Preview: Patterns ”Play money” 3-cent piece Link submitted by Al S. (http://coinauctionshelp.com/Coin_Help_Blog/ugliest-u-s-coins/) Worst Coin Designs Preview: Patterns “Mr. Liberty” (very manly jaw line and football players neck); Anemic, cramped Eagle Link submitted by Al S. (http://coinauctionshelp.com/Coin_Help_Blog/ugliest-u-s-coins/) Worst Coin Designs Preview: Patterns “Flasher Liberty” with her pet American Eagle at her feet Link submitted by Al S. (http://coinauctionshelp.com/Coin_Help_Blog/ugliest-u-s-coins/) Worst Commemorative Design Nomination: Bridgeport, Connecticut, Centennial Half Dollar Worst Coin Design Nominations: 1839 “Silly Head” Cent The 1839 Silly Head large cent was a poorly executed die for a somewhat decent design. This coin has the virtue of having an interesting die break across the face. Worst Coin Design Nominations: 1913 Buffalo Nickel, Type 1 Minting a high-relief coin from the nickel alloy caused die wear at a rate of 5 to 10x faster than contemporaneous silver coinage. Once the coin was in circulation, the date and denomination quickly wore down. I have heard that otherwise VF+ examples can be found without a clear date or the five cents. Worst Coin Design Nominations: Capped Bust (to left) Half Eagles Worst Coin Design Nominations: 1795 Flowing Hair Coinage, Half Dollar …the Flowing Hair denominations. Minted +/- 1795. The eagle on the reverse is quite sickly looking. The portrait on the front also looks quite crudely designed. Worst Coin Design Nominations: Walking Liberty Half Dollar Too much going on from the flowing dress, to the “walk” in her sandals to the sunrise mountain scene in the background. Worst Coin Design Nominations: Morgan Dollar Gigantic masculine head with enormous cheeks and open fields of silver, so easily scratched and marked by the mildest contact. Also a dead-looking zombie eye! Worst Coin Designs: Other Nominated Dollars Angry lady image; size, color and edge reeding way too much like a quarter. No comment provided. Gapping, grimacing expression perhaps? Heavy, bulky, but not silver. Fake or play money appearance; What was the point? poorly executed. .
