<p>[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1577656, member: 26030"]Everyone will have a different method of qualifying their top 10. Monetary value, sentimental appeal, historical significance, rarity, etc. Actually the OP didn't make it 100% clear if the top 10 was for coins we actually owned, or simply coins we wanted (wish list). For this post I will assume it's for coins we actually own. In terms of making a top 10 list, for me it's all about eye appeal. So here are my top 10 "most beautiful" colorfully-toned coins as scored in my Flash Index system. (Note that the Flash Index is a method that "objectively" scores the visual appeal of colorfully toned coins). A perfect Flash Index score is 10.0 and I have yet to acquire a coin that scored a perfect 10, but I bet they are out there. Any Flash Index score above 9.0 signifies "Gold Level" toning. Between 8.0 and 8.9 is "Silver Level"; and 7.0 to 7.9 is "Bronze Level". So these are all monster "Gold Level" toned coins posted in descending order, so my "most beautiful" coin is at the top. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://100greatestrainbows.com/photos/0100_2003S_PR68DC_24506011.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://100greatestrainbows.com/photos/0005_1961_Raw.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://100greatestrainbows.com/photos/0050_1944D_MS66_19495958.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://100greatestrainbows.com/photos/0050_1963_PR66_16880169.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://100greatestrainbows.com/photos/0001_1914_PR66BN_06619596.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://100greatestrainbows.com/photos/0100_1886_MS67_3460557-066.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://100greatestrainbows.com/photos/0001_1961_PR67BN_18669429.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://100greatestrainbows.com/photos/0001_1961_PR67RB_13790978.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://100greatestrainbows.com/photos/0001_1961_PR66BN_16858004.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://100greatestrainbows.com/photos/0001_1961_PR67BN_25145840.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
