Post Your Commemorative Half Dollars (1892-1954)

I love this one. I saw one in a accugrade holder that was very nice.
it seems dealers charge whatever they want when it comes to the Isabella quarter. I found an ms-64 one for under 800, then one of my local coin shops has a mint State 61 by anacs for almost 1000. Crazy.

I have this one. I love the reverse. I have a lot of moderns too. Would love to put a complete set of older commemoratives together.

 

Lovely indeed Worn out fellow.......

 

A first foray into commemoratives for this native Texan.

 

Another Texas commemorative arrived today:

 

I couldn't give you two likes for the same post, so, I quoted you. One like for the coin and one for being a native Texan.

 

I thought he was lousiana.......

 

I'm in Louisiana now but grew up in Texas.

 

I guess I'll have to redact one of those likes for living in Louisiana.j/k I like to go to Louisiana to gamble.

 

This arrived today. Looked all over the place before I pulled the trigger. Most glad I waited!

 

I'm planning on working on a set of commemoratives (both classic and modern) that are associated with New York State (where I grew up) and Maryland (where I live now). My budget is limited, so it will take time. I have a couple of the moderns (1986 Statue of Liberty Half Dollar, 2002 West Point Silver Dollar, 2012 Star Spangled Banner Silver Dollar), but no classic for this set yet. Probably going to start with the 1936 Long Island and 1934 Maryland. The 1935 Hudson will be the key to this set...

 

I posted one of these earlier in this thread. Today I got the chance to re-image all of them. They're a PDS set that I bought (raw) at the FUN show in 2014.

 

Those are sharp!!!!'

 

Love this 1918 Illinois Centennial Commemorative Half dollar. Also called the Lincoln commemorative due to its famous resident.

Any idea of potensial grade on this specimen?
