[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 5139345, member: 19463"]There is nothing magical about the ten. My first one in 2013 was only a Top Five but ten has become more a standard number. To me, the important part is a short explanation about what it was that made that coin special. If you bought it because your cat walked across the keyboard and it turned out the cat has better tastes than you do, tell the story. I was hoping for one more auction this year but the one I was watching has left me in the dirt so my ten is unlikely to change. Still it is too early to post but I doubt that I am the only one hoping for a better 2021 in more ways than the coins. I found it interesting to go back and see how I feel now about the coins in the old lists. I even sold one of my #1 coins but that was because I upgraded it (few would agree that it was an [U]up[/U]grade but I liked the new one better). I don't remember how the lists got started here but it has been one of my favorite parts of CT. I wonder if the idea of the lists would lend itself to Zoom meetings. I hear they are free on Thanksgiving but always free if there are only two participants. I guess I found the Zoom idea more attractive than most in the hobby.[/QUOTE]
