Classic Commemorative Progress, #15 of 50, Monroe

Slowly moving along with progress to my classic commemorative set -- this one is the 15th coin in the 50 coin set. The latest addition was this piece back in '23. I really like the reverse design. I wish it was struck stronger; bet it would look great in high-relief.



Some info borrowed from 'A Guide Book of United States Commemorative Coins' by Q. David Bowers:

Next one I want to set my sights on is one of the keys in the set: the Lafayette Dollar

I like the classic commems. Since you mention the Lafayette, I settled for one that isn't the greatest, but I've been happy with it. Quick pic since it's handy.

 

Nice coin, good pickup. One of my favorite series.
My fave from my set (also my avatar):

 

That's a beauty! Bit difficult to find one that's graded without being cleaned/details.

Lovely one indeed! Don't have Long Island yet.
