Yikes, that's a tough act to follow!

Man, I feel a bit like I'm Joe-Joe the Dog-faced boy, coming onto the stage immediately after the Miss America pagent!

Oh well, here goes => beauty is in the eye of the beholder (or the photograper in this case!)

"Number 10"

1911 Canadian 25 cent piece (aka, The Godless Coin)
=> it was the year that the mint neglected to add "DEI GRA", which means "by the grace of god"

Great coins, love the woodie, and really enjoyed the 20 crowns!

Next for me a toned cameo Franklin.

Here's a nice (I think) example of circulating Japanese silver coin.

100 yen dated Showa year 32, which translates to AD 1957

Sorry I am way behind .. I had my list worked out .
then had to do it over.

I ended up picking all U.S. coins. I think they are most of my favorite coins, that fall into the op's guidelines.
I did mess up on my first choice, I was thinking the years were 1900 to 2000. My #12 coin is 2000, the rest will be in the right dates. I just don't want to do my list over and have to take more pictures.

2000 Leif Ericson UNC Mintage 28,150

#9 - 1907 IHC. Sentimental favorite - my all-time longest olive oil bath, almost 18 months. You shoulda seen it before.
