Ken, they are neat coins but don’t really fit in my collection. I had numerous veterans in my family — and, fortunately, none ever had the misfortune of getting a Purple Heart, though millions of others did.

 

Not I so add me to the list.

 

Not here either, but will the colored one later to fill recent. I call the "ugly set"

 

Well, it was just pre-order anyway. Still plenty of time to get on board (bored?).

 

If one ordered everything new the mint is selling, you would not have any money left for anything else.

 

@green18
"get on board" must be a train song some where there.

 

I no longer buy anything from the US Mint.

 

Some of my favorites have been Cracklin Rosie (Diamond), People Get Ready (Mayfield....AND LOVE the Impressions version), Love Train, (O'Jays), Get on Board (Temple..McGhees....Cedar Mont Kids versions), This Train Is Bond For Glory (Cash), Johnny Cash (Cooder). I am sure there are others, but I am old and forgetful.

 

@charley
I would add James Brown Night Train to that list

 

You forgot the Monkees, Last Train to Clarksville.

@green18 Add me to the list. I think the lift of no, I didn’t buy is longer than the yes, I bought one.

 

No, did not. My uncles (all not deceased) had their own. Luckily all my sons (Marines and Army) were never wounded. My grandson (Army Special Ops and 1st Cav) and my sweet granddaughter (Air Force) still at risk. I pray daily they will never have to have one awarded to them.

 

Gotta love that one.

 

I hear ya brother......thanks to you and all of them for their service to our country.

 

I didn't forget them. They are just not memorable to persons that enjoy good music. Did the Clarksville song have the words "Get On Board' in it?

 

I would never ever never nada upso forget The Great One! I almost listed it but then remembered he sang "All Aboard" as opposed to "Get On Board", and I wanted to stay within your criteria.

 

OF COURSE! That is the main reason I capped my word LOVE. There will never be another.

 

I was tempted - a tiny bit - but they've really priced me out of the market.

I've said it before but this year's commemorative subject matter is a cut above recent years, IMO.

 

in general I don't have interest in commemorative coins, in fact, I don't own a single one unless you count bicentennial or state quarters or NA dollar coins. Just not my thing.

 

Its a depressing design that is unlikely to be popular even with the subject matter. There's a lot better ways you could represent it than someone laying on a stretcher with a head injury that probably lost their eye sight
