Circulated Classic Commemoratives

I have added a few pieces and taken better pictures of my type set. Its getting harder and harder to finish the set on a budget. Also I have gotten as much joy putting a low grade set together as some of my high grade sets. You dont need to buy the highest grade coins to enjoy this hobby.

1915 Panama Pacific
1936 Rhode Island
1924 Huguenot
1918 Illinois
1934 Texas

Love those early commems.
I just bought my first one the other day

 

Yeah, that's a great looking piece! :thumb:

 

A lot of great looking coins in the early commems . Love the Pan Am , Lincoln-Illinois , Grant and the Isabella . Great looking set .

 

I like the 1893 Isabella.

 

I hate to admit, when I have bought circulated commems they have all been at melt - which is kind of nice when you are talking Sesquicentennials, Stone Mtn etc. For a large part, save the Columbians, circ commemoratives are scarcer than their uncirculated brethren.

 

Thats how I got started with the set. I was looking through a coin shops junk silver and I found a stone mountain and a booker. Bought those and kept going

 

And harder than hens teeth to find. Where did you get that Texas Centennial OP?

Nice collection.

 

Ebay, maybe a year ago. I have been at a standstill lately. Cant find any of the ones im missing.

 

I do have a few circulated a Columbian , Stone Mt. , Pilgrim and a LaFayette . I wonder how many Hawaiian commems you can find circulated ?

 

Not many Rusty. I'd like to see one pegged lower than XF.......now there's a true rarity.

 

I believe even in 1928 they were selling for $2-4 apiece - so not a lot of risk of them dropping into circulation.
