My favorite modern commemorative is my avatar, the 1987 $5 Gold US Constitution Bicentennial:



I not only admire the coins, but I also have great admiration and respect for the document that they honor.

 

I like the '87 Silver constitution $ for some reason.

 

I would love to see a US Navy commemorative--it is long overdue.

 

The 2001 Silver Buffalo

 

Before you get mad, I did not have a picture handy of any of mine and I think this one is cool.

edited - really pressing your luck !

 

too many that i liked.

 

These are the only two I have. I really like the 2012 Star-Spangled Banner one as well.

 

I forgot I had this too. This is the first commemorative I got. It was free since I used the ten dollar bill me later deal.

 

Here's my favorite. Have a proof and UNC

 

Love the Dolley Dollar too - should be called the modern Bust Dollar. Unfortunately the CCAC would call it, "Too busy".

Lucky grade.

 

Don't own any now but my favorite is the 1999 $5 Washington. Designed by Laura Gardin Fraser, the coin was entered in a design contest for the quarters to replace the SLQ. Her design came in 2nd behind the Flanagan design.
