Post Your Commemorative Half Dollars (1892-1954)

If I posted this before, it was a long time ago.

I just picked up a 1992 Columbus Quincentenary 2 coin set (for a lovely price of $24). And I have the classic 1892 Columbus Expo Quadricentennial coin. That got me thinking... are there any other Commemorative coins that are celebrating the same thing but 100 years apart?

I am hoping the Mint does it with a 2021 Morgan. But that's not really the same thing.

 

Well, they did nothing for Lafayette in 2000, or in 2015 for the Pan-Pac, and nothing even for Lincoln (Illinois actually) in 2018. I doubt they'll do anything for Maine or the Pilgrims this year. After that, I don't think they'd even consider anything.

They're coming up with enough bad modern commemoratives without repeating bad decisions of the past.

 

Yeah, I just went through the list. Nothing even remotely close. Except the 92/92 Columbus.

 

Time to fire up this thread with a new arrival.

 

My current four. Actively adding to my classic commemorative collection albeit slowly because some are quite pricy. Looking to complete a one of each kind set.

The Huguenot and San Diego are in NGC holders. The Robinson, ANACS. And the Iowa, ICG. The San Diego is in a particularly old NGC holder, I believe the first one after that original black holder. Have a BTW in the mail currently on it's way to me.

 

These are 2 of my most recent.

 

My favorite design of all the commems:

 

Here is one not seen often. Especially since I’m on the west coast

 

I only own two, but plan to change that in the years to come.

 

That‘s a really legit issue

 

I am 12 coins away from completing a set of classic gold and silver commemoratives. I am not worried about collecting all the different series by mint marks but I do wonder if I should include the varieties of the Alabama, Grant, Missouri, and Pilgrim. Any thoughts? Also, the two 1915-S Panama $50 pieces are not included in my set.

 

Love these when they've circulated . . . .

Heavens Paul, you'd likely have to mortgage the house, wife and children.

 

My thought process is that if I'm skipping all the mint marks/dates of the same design, then I'd also skip the varieties (with star, 2x2, etc). That will save you some funds for the remaining 12 that you need.

 

Thank you all for your comments and insights. I appreciate it.
