    Here's the latest addition to my collection.
    Perfect for me cost-wise and grade-wise:

    Unfortunately my collection appears to be growing VERY slowly these days.
    My "toys" are becoming more expensive so naturally I can only get fewer.

    Very lovely looking commem! Congrats on the pick up.

    Interesting to me how the sun and rays seem very similar to those on a walking liberty half from the same era on the obverse and an eagle in a style not too unlike that of the Morgan dollar reverse.

    I also hope you hit the lottery and have a big giveaway/contest thing for CT members to participate in. :D

    Good point !

    It's also reminiscent of the sun and rays on a Peace Dollar and Saint Gaudens $20.

    Very true! I was thinking about the Saints as well but only cited the Walker since it was a half. I like them all though! :eek:hya:

    Beautiful coin, and I know how you feel about your collection growing exceedingly slower as the cost of the coins go up and up.

    wow that is nice. havent seen a piece like that yet.

    just more proof that the old commems had real work put into them compared to the junk they try and sell ppl now.

    That's a great one Kanga!
    Mine is a NGC 63 and your has just as much eye appeal.
    How close is that set coming for you as that is one of the harder ones to get?
