    I have one type of classic commemorative. If I had the funds I would probably have alread began a "type" set of classic commems(one of each design, not a date set) Anyway, here she(he) is.

    Here is my classic (also re-ignited the coin collecting fire). I got it from a friend of mine that wanted me to go thru his old coins. Also am interested in what you would grade it as. Thanks in advance. 1921 Missouri Centenial Half Dollar obverse.jpg 1921 Missouri Centenial Half Dollar reverse.jpg

    I think it is a good looking coin & I especially like the toning shown in your photo. If you don't see any breaks in the luster at the high points then it would be an uncirculated coin. I'm sorry but I'm not good at grading coins from photos. It is a certainly keeper.

    (It's fun when these old threads get bumped).

    Wow, I'm not really a fan of toned coins usually but that reverse is fantastic @robec

    Love the BTW set. Have you attempted to obtain all 18 coins? I have a full set all nice examples all grading at 65 or better. It's a relatively inexpensive set and that's why I got this set first.

    You betcha it's a nice set, and approachable in price for high grade specimens. :) Mine's nearly complete......one to go.
