After posting the 10 days of coins, I went back and checked my posts and there were several contenders that really deserve mentioning. But I'll keep this thread to 10 and I would still stick with the same coins. Unlike the majority of posters on here, I don't have an emotional attraction to any one specific coin but more to a series or a group, so the specific coin may change over time but its doubtful the group will change. In the top 10 there will always be an ASE, AGE, Mercury dime, IHC, Wheat cent, coin with a bison and coins from Portugal.

Here is my last coin to post. I'm not positive that I got all ten in, but I think I got pretty close.

This is a Didrachm from Lucania, Velia Greece that dates to BC 300-280. The toning is nice, but the classical treatment of the lion's musculature is what drew me to this coin.

I will just have to be satisfied with viewing them digitally.

Forgot to post my final coin for here, been super busy at work.

I like toned Jefferson nickels and I feel that it's a series that doesn't get much love or much respect, probably due to the fact that they have been around for so long they seem rather mundane and pedestrian compared to the Buffalos and V nickels that came before them.

It wasn't just the silver " War Nickels" that toned; the regular nickels can tone as well, as this 1942-D Type 1 shows.
