Boring Silver Buffaloes
I love silver, but we all have a certain piece or design that is a turn-off. What that is simply depends on who's looking at it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and so is "ugliness."
In the end, I will take whatever silver is the cheapest per ounce. That still doesn't stop me from writing this post. I'm mainly curious what other people find "ugly" or "boring" when it comes to silver coins and rounds.
For me, it's the buffalo that everyone copies from the American gold buffalo coins. It's not a bad design, but it's very plain. On the obverse, you have the portrait of an Indian and on the back, you have the American buffalo. I have nothing against either. I think the design is simply boring. They're all pretty much the same, with very little variation between them. In Kzoo Bullion's defense, their design (the middle one) contains radial lines and gives the round some texture.
If you contrast that with the incuse gold Indian head design, it's a night and day difference, in my opinion.

The details and design on the gold coin are just far better. I'll still buy silver buffalos because they're cheap, but man, are they boring to look at!

I agree cheap is good, but it would be nice to see some originality in their designs. That goes for the US Mint as well...

Yeah, the US Mint has done a very poor job with most of their designs lately

True. Cheap silver is still silver, no matter how ugly.

I love any image of the noble bison. A majestic animal. !BBH
For me, it seems much more majestic in actual photography than on coins and rounds.
