    Here's my photographs I took today for my humble low mint state registry of classic commemoratives"

    I really like this one. It ticks all the boxes for what an American themed commemorative coin should look like

    A bit of a toner. Darkest coin I own, that's for sure. Still, a very nice example that I'm glad to own.

    An iconic coin. The angel with the Alamo is epic.

    The ship reverse is nice. The obverse portraits a little odd in execution, but still a pretty coin in its own right.

    Almost feels Canadian with the beaver. The reverse isnalso stunning with the eagle and the period dress on the men.

    I love the old state Capitol building on the reverse. It's simple but pretty.

    Can't say this is a stunning coin. But far from the worst offender when it comes to classic commemorative coins.

    Tell me about it. Can't even find one that's reasonably priced. They are somewhat scarce, no?
    How about one from York County York, ME?
    Both bucket listers for me. ;)

    Great coins. I love the classic commem's but it's a rabbit-hole I've not fallen into yet. As noted, some are scarce and pricey. Congrats on a great start.

    I like classic commemoratives. My favorite is the San Diego issue.

    Nope but I did buy this one and I hadn't revealed it yet here. It is currently in transit on its way to me. This was the biggest item in my bucket list for this year, besides the Hawaiian.

    I like the Vermont coin also. Love Cats on coins! Especially the big ones.
