I did not say that they were crap. That was an expression.
I do like the coins that you posted but would not likely consider them all "Wow!" coins. The one coin I saw in hand was more like, "Wow, I thought that coin would be better in hand because I really liked it in the photo." So, if you consider that to be a "Wow!" coin (not a "Wow, ..." coin), that's fine.
I think the person who most consistently WOWs me with every coin he posts is BOILER78 from ATS. I have some WOW coins in my collection but those who appreciate toned coins are much more likely to be WOWed by some of the coins in my collection.

Boiler posts here also, and he does have an extraordinarily high percent of "Wow!" coins.
I remember one wow moment. I showed this guy a coin, close to the top of the census for the variety and he goes, "Wow! That coin is almost as nice as mine!"
He was genuinely surprised, he didn't know my coin was out there.

All of my coins are "WOW" coins. If i tell my wife what i paid for them "wow" is the first and kindest word she uses. If my friends see some of them they say "wow" and not in a good way.

I'd say that I have six that people almost universally say "wow" to. Have some niche coins that also get wows, but for different reasons. I have noticed that larger coins assist with the wow reaction as well. Interesting that four of the six are darkside...

That's more of a "Bow Wow Wow"

<< <i>How many "Wow!" coins are in your collection? >>
Not nearly enough!
That almost qualifies as a hobo-penny.
