I can not really put a order on my top ten, but I can share a few that I know I would include.

One would be my Silver Proof Bicentennial Quarter that my fifth grade teacher gave me many years ago now.

Another would be a struck through capped die I found roll searching. Both same coin, but different angle to see different detials

A third that I have pictures of would be a Cud quarter that I also found roll searching.

As for the other 7 I will have to think about that farther, but I figured I could share these.

I would have to say that my favorite "modern" coin(s) are my two PCGS 1972 double die obverse lincolns in 64RD and 65BN. They both have a lot of eye appeal and this DDO is a very dramatic one and affordable when compared to the '55 DDO.

My top 5!

#5: 1970-D Indent Strike Cent

Another really cool error.

What-Are-Your-Top-10-Modern-Coins-In-Your-Collection.

#4: 1950-D Nickel

Not a great rarity, but about the closest thing there is to a genuine rarity for modern, regular-issue, minted-for-circulation coins.

(no picture)

#3: 1996 Double Clipped Dime

I found this in circulation a couple years ago before I was actually an active roll-hunter.

#2: 2004-P "Peace Medal" Double Die Obverse

Probably the coolest doubled-die to occur since the mint introduced single-squeeze hubbing, and one of the better doubled dies of the entire Jefferson nickel series. I live in the focal area for this one and have found several.

#1: 2007-P Shattered Die Dime

I just found this recently, and I think the picture speaks for itself.

There are really some impressive error coins on this thread...

Got me thinking into what my Top 10 would be, in no particular order:
1998S matte proof Kennedy half dollar
1964 accented hair proof Kennedy half dollar
1932S Washington quarter
1936D Washington quarter
2008W reverse of 2007 uncirculated ASE
1999W uncirculated 1/10th oz. $5 AGE
2004W proof 1/4th oz. APE
2006W reverse proof ASE
2008W burnished uncirculated 1/4 oz. gold Buffalo
2001D American Buffalo silver dollar

To this list I'm working on adding either a 2006W reverse proof 1 oz AGE or the 1/2 oz. reverse proof platinum AE from 2007. I would consider the 2009 UHR if it wasn't so massively overpriced presently.

I hesitate to post but will anyway. I'm proud to own (at least be the caretaker of) quite a few moderns and picking just ten is not easy.

1982-NMM 10c (fully struck die trial, possibly unique)
1966 25c Proof
1982-P 25c (true gem and nearly fully struck)
1970-S 5c FS very PL
1981-P type "d" reverse MS-65/ MS-67 PL
1985-P 25c sm bust (ch Unc)
1988-D 1c MS-69 highly PL
1969 25c chGem
1976 1$ type I MS-67
1977 25c type "d" reverse AU+
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

Bizybackson ....you have a very impressive top 10 list. I have a couple on your list
but have been waiting for a couple more of them to come along.

I would really like to find a deal on the 2008W ASE with reverse of 2007.
And I think I seen some 1964 sets with the AH .. I better give them a second look.

Day three (and not necessary ranked) is the 1998 s matte proof Kennedy half. GoldRush58 has the ultimate one in ms 70, mine is raw.
