The 100 greatest coins of Trade Dollar Nuts, Lakesamman, and Boiler's collections.
Coins I would love to see, i know I am forgetting a few others who have posted monsters on this board. Someone has a killer 1796 quarter and I can't recall who it is.
If I say something in the woods, and my wife isn't around. Am I still wrong?
Thank you for rather churlishly adding #6 to our list. Only 94 slots of et cetera still available ! ! ! !

The 100 Greatest Coins in the World. It would be neat to see the top U.S. coins duke it out with the likes of the 1839 5 Pound Una and the Lion or the 1847 Gothic Crown.
The 100 Greatest Medals in the World. I don't think the U.S. would fare so well in this book.

<< <i>"100 Greatest CU/USCF Avatars"
Aurora Borealis would be on page 1.
ColonelJessup would be on page 2.
MrEureka would be on page 99.
Sorry, but
a) Aki is much more evolved than I.
b) Gadzooka is the guy who found me my icon.
My suggestion: "100 Biggest Percentage Actual or Unrealized Losses on Individual Coins When Pop-Tops Exceeded Registry Sets".
Where is that 1919-D 10c that sold for 190K + juice about 8-10 years ago through Heritage?
