Just have to get into this one. My top 10 shells in no special order are:

1.   Conus milnedwardsi kawamurai...don't have one but one can always hope.
2.    Strombus gigas...because we have some real beauts in the keys and I
                                 can't take one. Do have a beauty from the
Bahamas, however.
3,   Murex pecten....not a rare shell, but I dearly love the ones I have. In
fact in is the                     first shell I ever purchased but that is
another story.
4.    Pterynotus loebeckei...another one I do not have, but I am envious of
every one I see.
5.    Pterynotus bednalli...I have a very nice one that I treasure. Such
grace and beauty.
6.   Cassis tuberosa...Collected these in the Bahamas and also have another
purchased one from Puerto Rico. The one I really want is one that Jim Cordy
found last June in the Abacos. I saw him bring that shell aboard the boat. It
was to die for.
7.  Semicassis adcocki... A truly beautiful little shell.
8.   Charonia tritonis varigatus...A showy and elegant shell.
9.   Homalocantha anomaliae...Another would be favorite if I but had one. I
find it a most fascinating shell.
10.  Conus nobilis victor...the fabled golden cone.

Good grief...that didn't even start to list my favorites. Maybe we should do
the top 100
