<p>[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 2176254, member: 46237"]Interesting. Actually I tried to be objective. My two favorite US series are Washington quarters through 1998 and capped bust quarters, and I didn't include either of them on the list. I omitted Washingtons because I don't consider them to be one of the top 10, and I omitted capped bust quarters because the average collector isn't going to want one. They are extremely scarce and high grade examples are prohibitively expensive.</p><p><br /></p><p>The top 6 were the coins generally considered to have the most attractive designs. I listed both T1 and T2 SLQs because they are plentiful in high grades and the designs on both the obverse and reverse were so significantly changed between the types that it is historically significant. I didn't list the T3 because the date recessing is minor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
