I don't have one coin that I would consider the best, but here are two coins that I would label the Best of the Best, and the Best of the Worst.  This is one of the best coins that I have of one of the best emperors of the Roman Empire. Antoninus Pius, a Sestertius circa 143 AD.  This one is my best of one of the worst emperors of the Roman Empire. Caligula, a As 38 AD.

Great coins everyone ...... I enjoy seeing them all! For me ...... Truly wish I had a better photo of this coin ..... the slab does not matter here ...... this is my amazing MS67 Antietam half-dollar ..... now off at PCGS for a free re-grade. Without a doubt the finest classic commemorative I have ever personally seen, much less owned ....  If you are interested ..... you can follow the story of the re-grade attempt here .... https://goccf.com/t/65537David
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art

This is one of my favourites, An 1894 Zar Penny. Mintage of 10,769. Don't know how to grade it yet?, but I like way the coin looks( Eye Appeal , I think is the term  ).

Not my best coin but certainly one of my favourites. I particularly like the symbolism of the bird feeding its chicks!!
