This is an interesting one. Can't make up my mind about the obverse portraits. Showed it to my wife and she thought it was Jesus and someone else...she says the other guy looks like a rugby player with a busted nose. The ship is nice though. I think the nautical theme is the best part of this coin. It's #7 as far as classic commemorative coins for me. Will probably stop at 8 or 9 for the year, so one or two more to go before we bid 2024 good bye. Next year I'll try to knock out another 6-8 coins. I want to focus on acquiring a good chunk of the remaining 1936 issues next year.

Sorry, but this one has never been high on my list so far as artwork. It was designed by Adolph Weinman's son. This one is only an MS-63. I didn't pour much money into it.
