Post your Modern Commemoratives

The laser cameo is just worse than the old way, its not smooth.. I really don't like it....
I am totally into modern commems though but am more of a unc. guy...

I think the best illustration of the laser effect on commemorative coins is the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park "puck." The lava has a "starry" or "sparkley" effect on the numismatic version.

 

Some of my favorites - mainly because of the reverse. I like the SF old mint the best, but it's at PCGS right now...

 

SF Old mint is back! Along with a few others...

 

Technically the last pic is that of a medal Atarian, but I think we can cut you some slack........

 

Don't have pics of most of mine. One of my fav moderns is the Leif Ericson proof! I only have 2 of these in OGP, but I want one slabbed!

 

Yeah, I kinda slid that one in there...
A couple more. (I like the modern commems!)

 

So you opted for a Lewis and Clark? So history oriented and so US..........

 

The Leif Ericson is one of the best moderns, IMHO. Low mintage - go figure. Some of the lamer designs have much higher mintages. Oh well...

 

LMAO yes! I don't have any pics of my Leif Ericson MS coin AND I only have around 4 pics of my commems. I didn't want to duplicate either.

 

Such to dwell on low mintages. be not fooled.......

 

Last one. Who can't love the reverse of this? (OK I'm sure there are some that don't...)

 

So who could not love?

 

Nite guys.....I'm tired.

 

So a low mintage is unimportant?

 

It's not important if nobody wants to collect the coin or the series. Look at the Booker T. Washington commemorative run. In 5 of the 6 years that the coin was minted there were production numbers varying between 6-8 thousand pieces yet all of these are affordable. Why? 'Cause nobody wants them.

 

I have an NGC MS70 Leif Ericson as well and also have the Swedish partner to it though it's not slabbed (yet).
