I just added a new Registry Showcase in the category of "My 10 Best Coins".
WingedLiberty's "10 Best Coins" Showcase
Boy that was a challenge trying to limit to just the top 10 or even pick the top 10. What criteria should you use? The most expensive, the rarest, the best condition, the most meaningful? I decided to go with the most eye appeal with Rainbow (colorful) toning. However even that was tough.
By the way, it's funny to me how many people listed more than 10 coins in this showcase category -- one person listed 136. Talk about unable to make a decision!
Complete List of "My 10 Best Coins" Showcases
So lets see your "Top 10 Coins" ... POST PICTURES! (And tell us what criteria you used to select them.)
Here is my top 10 (in the subcategory of rainbow toning in terms of eye appeal):

Absolutely, CoinsAreRFun.
I STILL LOVE that Franklin Proof that I bought from you so many months ago.
It still knocks my socks off and I never get tired looking at it.
Thank you so much for selling it to me!

Thank you for:
1. participating on the forums (so that a wide segment of collectors and dealers can learn things about and see coins that would not otherwise be available);
2. posting pictures of some of the coins in your collection.
Being able to participate in the hobby at the highest levels must be a real treat. Participating on the forums allows many of us to get a vicarious thrill.
Recently, I have become quite intrigued by the Chain Cent---the more that I read and learn about them. I enjoy looking at any high end examples.
Thanks for posting and Thanks to the rest of you, TOO, those are some simply gorgeous coins out there from everyone here!
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

Cardinal, that is just wicked sick (in the street term way). Thank you for posting.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
I knew it would happen.
10 is a bit much, not to mention the photobucket drives me crazy, but here they are. I have more..........CHD
Dang, and I thought a Box of 20 was hard enough. Obviously top 10 can change on any given day, but this group would certainly encompass my top 5...
To the best of my knowledge the following is 1 of only 2 (total) gold US coins flown in space. Also, Gemini 4 is considered one of the "classic" US spaceflights since it involved the first American to do an EVA.
