<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 1660142, member: 10103&quot;]It&#039;s starting to get hard and gritty in the netherworld of classic commemorative collecting.&nbsp; The earlier pieces that I&#039;ve picked up in my quest to amass a date set have been fulfilled.&nbsp; All that remains are the more difficult, more elusive (and pricey) examples.&nbsp; I know that conventional advice given is to buy the &#039;keys&#039; first and add the more common, &#039;easy&#039; stuff later, but did I listen?&nbsp; No I didn&#039;t.&nbsp; Why not, you ask?&nbsp; Because I wanted it now......I wanted to buy what I always lusted after as a child........ and what I lusted after, wasn&#039;t necessarily a key coin.&nbsp; There are many marvelously wonderful designs in the classic commemorative series.&nbsp; All intrigue me.&nbsp; I&#039;m tempted, at times, to add more (Arkansas, sweet Arkansas) but must stay focused in my quest.&nbsp; The opportunity (most timely) presented itself to allow me to acquire this recent addition to my humble collection...........</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]244374.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Low mintage, but by no means the lowest in the series, the Hudson Sesquicentennial half dollar is a much needed boost to my collecting endeavor.&nbsp; With only 10,008 examples minted it is one of the most expensive coins within the classic series.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please forgive.....the photo depicted here should have been displayed in reverse.&nbsp; Hudsons&#039; ship (the Half Moon) is depicted on the obverse of this coin.&nbsp; The reverse depicts the city seal of Hudson NY.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
