Here is the plan. Any commemorative coins are welcome, classic and modern. Start with your 10th most favorite commemorative coin and each day we will post the next coin on your list.
Post each coin on your list on these days.
11/11 #10
11/12 #9
11/13 #8
11/14 #7
11/15 #6
11/16 #5
11/17 #4
11/18 #3
11/19 #2
11/20 #1
You can place the coins on the list any way you like.
Some ideas are favorite design, low mintage, value or just a connection you may have with that coin.

For my number 10 coin it was hard to choose, so much so that I had a tie. I mean how could I choose between Ben Franklin or Thomas Edison. Franklin showed us what electricity was and Edison showed us how to use it. (I know I am just talking in general, there was much more to it) Franklin's coin came out in 2006. I picked the UNC coin with a mintage of 58,000 For Edison coin, it came out in 2004 to honor the 125th anniversary of the light bulb. I picked the UNC version with a mintage of 92,510      Edited by GR58

Selecting a top 10 was difficult with a large amount of individuals to choose from. Here is a coin that has a minimal mintage and interest and is from the region of my birth. 1925 Fort Vancouver Centennial   |

I'll strike out with my first (and only so far) of the top three Early Commemoratives. I really enjoy having it in my collection.  Edited by paleoguy45

Again another hard choice to make but who can deny the uniqueness of a beaver on a coin? 1936 Albany   |

Little late here My number 9 made my top 10 list, one because I think it is a very nice coin, but second I really like it because I found it while metal detecting when stationed in Hawaii. It is a proof 1986 W $5 gold coin, with a mintage of 404,013. It is mounted in the 18K bezel and chain. Combined there is over $800 in gold. I think it is nice that it combines my two hobbies coin collecting and metal detecting.   |

It really is a good looking coin!

I guess it is 11/13 EDT so it should be safe to post my #8 choice. I picked my 2004 P BU Lewis and Clark dollar. It has a mintage of 142,015. I do like the design and the history this coin commemorates.   |
