I like UK farthings and all copper (US large cents).I also like early hammered...These can be expensive.:rollling:

 

Identifying one's top 10 coins in their collection might be a good exercise in determining what to cull if one has a small collection. Pruning, just like with plants, can strengthen the quality overall.

 

The original post is very broad and Peter even gives a clue that he is looking for people to truly think before they answer.

 

my newest coin... this on comes in at #3, no hesitation. 4-10 are not concrete (see previous posts for #1 and #2). this one is #3 based on rarity alone...
