Fresh off the presses, here is my top 10 for the year. Please vote in the poll for your favorite coin. If some of these are familiar, that may be since five are in my latest box of 20 thread and many were posted in other spots. The box of 20 concept continues to be my main focus, so that opens up many collecting opportunities. A few more of these coins may eventually end up in the box of 20 but for now are in the extended box (with a rather uninspiring title: "the box of 21-40ish"). This top 10 is split into several groupings. The first two coins represent my fascination with errors (particularly wrong denomination examples). The next three is the Columbian Expo commemorative mini set (both half dollars and the quarter). Following that is the lone Morgan to make the list. And I round out with four fairly different world coins-stretching from Colonial to ultra modern.
