These are in my opinion, the 20 greatest coins I have had the privilege of either owning or imaging (caveat, I chose coins that don't necessarily duplicate in order to fit the box of 20 premise - i.e. there won't be four Proof Liberty QEs). I will let the coins speak for themselves. They are roughly in the order that I believe is best to worst (although there are zero bad coins on this list).

(1) 1899 $2.5





(2) 1911 $2.5



(3) 1907 HR

(4) 1921 Peace

(5) 1899 50c PR68



(6) 1907 50c

(7) 1877 $20

(8) 1887 $1 Morgan PR

(9) 1895 50c



(10) 1877 $3

(11) 1881 25c



(12) 1874-S 50c

(13) 1942 Half

(14) 1896 10c

(15) 1905-O 50c

(16) 1903-S $10

(17) 1892 50c

(18) 1939 10c

(19) 1898-S 10c

(20) 1898 25c

    I like that you included coins you imaged and didn't restrict it to only those you own. It makes for a truly amazing group of coins. That said, part of me is now curious what your own personal box of 20 would look like. I'm willing to bet there is a nice nickel that would make the cut.

    Outstanding selection and assortment- collection!

    Fine choices. Thanks for sharing!!!
    Got me thinking…..
    Maybe I should dump my volumes of “junk” and embrace a similar endeavor?
