    Greetings! I wanted to share some of my top ten favorite coins with you all! Thank you for all those who warmly welcomed me to this forum already, and I appreciate it! The first set of top tens comes from 3 plastic containers I keep my most favorites in, and from these I will begin!

    1. Egyptian: a two-toned with pharaoh 1 pound date unknown.
    2. Egyptian: gold colored with a woman 50 piastres date unknown.
    3. Lebanon: silver colored with a cedar 1 livre 1968?
    4. Venezuela: silver colored big coin 5 bolivares 1997.
    5. French-Polynesia: silver with figure (mask?) 10 francs 1967.
    6. Argentina: silver with man on horse 10 pesos 1962.
    7. Tanzania: silver with rabbit 50 senti hamsini 1990.
    8. Nigeria: silver with 2 ears of corn 50 kobo 1991.
    9. Argentina: silver with woman with fluttery hair 20 centavos 1960.

    As for my 2x2's, these are my top ten:
    1. Italy: silver with head of woman with torch 5 lira 1949.
    2. Jamaica: silver with crocodile 5 cents 1973.
    3. Cook's Island: shiny silver with hibiscus flower 5 cents(?) 1975.

    9. Isle of Man: silver with castle(?) near water 5 new pence 1971
    10.* Poland: silver with wreath 20 Groszy *1923 grade xf.

    I hope I have not overdone it, but I am eager to share with the fellow members of this forum. I have one more top ten list I'd like to share, but I will wait before listing it. I really like collecting these coins, and I sometimes pull them out to enjoy, get lost in the nostalgia found there in, and dream of coins I'd like to find. Let me know what you think. Coin.King!

    Will work on it!

    Greetings Fellow Members! Thank you for the input thus far. I will try to take some pics to upload to the forum. I have had a mind to do it, but I have not gotten to it. I have another top ten or so that I want to do additionally. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Coin.King.
