Since the topic was brought up, here are my top 10 choices for avatars. All of these coins hold a special place in my heart. The top choice voted by the members will be used as my next avatar. So if everyone will rank the coins from 1 through 10 that will make it easier.

All right, you got me on the Proof Morgan, but I did check the rest of them out, honest!! Here's how I'd rank them:

Morgan, Trade, Pattern, Seated, SBA, Woods Hibernia, Continental Currency, US Assay Eagle, Humbert, and Clark Gruber.

OK, who's next?

ND, is the 1852-1 Humbert an "Eagle" or a "Half Eagle"? It says $10.00. At any rate the Seated dollar relief is incredible! That's my vote. Mike

What, the double die wright flyer didn't mkae the list? Nor the Stella?
Preferred both of them to harsh SBA- she looks like someones overly stern granny.
My order would be:
Stella,
Double die wright flyer
continetal pewter,
Seated dollar,
Trade dollar
Since I'm the one who notes the changes on the board, do I get two votes?[:p]

Don, even if you get 2 votes, I think you have to stick with the options above, or are you taking write-in candidates ND?

In time I will take write in votes. Over the years I have been fortunate enough to handle some of the most rare and beautiful coins in the world. However, this top 10 list is comprised of coins that have touched the heart for personal reasons.

1867 Seated = The finest seated that I have ever seen.
1880 Trade = The absolute most striking coin we have ever had.
1869 Pattern While all patterns are cool to handle, this one stands out in my mind.
1892 Morgan Anyone looking at this one will know why it fits into the top 10
1776 Continental The only one that we ever handled. So much history in this one.
1723 Woods-Hibernia The finest colony coin we ever handled
1861 Clark Gruber Another no brainer here. Had to make the top 10
1852 Assay This is the special in many ways, but the history of the coin makes it stand out.
1852 Humbert Another private minted coin. Too much history to be left out.
1979 SBA Finally the "ugly" grandma coin. While we have not bought many error coins, this one is the coolest that I have ever owned. So many how's and why's, make this a top 10 mention.

After the top 10 have been displayed as avatars, write in nominations will be considered.
Rest in Peace

ND,

I vote for the Trade dollar as my #1 pick. Number #2 is the Seated dollar. I will pass on the rest.

I gotta go with the 1869 Pattern, which I can only assume was a Longacre design. I spent about an hour at the pattern website & never could find the designers name for that coin. Learned quite a bit though.
After the Pattern,
Trade
Seated
