One of the few coins you know what day it was struck - December 14, 1899.

 

63

 

I ended 2020 with the Illinois Centennial and my first coin of 2021 is the 1934 Boone:

 

Love attractive toned commemoratives and that’s a beaut

 

Does this count as a classic commemorative?

1925-S Half Dollar California Diamond Jubilee.

 

Definitely, it counts. Nice one. Cal

 

Oh ok cool!

I like the bear on the back. Nice and fierce!

 

Went to the Houston Coin Show yesterday and picked up Cleveland MS65, York PCGS MS64 and Albany PCGS MS65 for my collection. There was a good selection of Classic Commemoratives.

 

Photos?

 

Me too. It's the California grizzly, a subspecies. Sadly, it was hunted to extinction. Ironically, the last live one was seen a year before the coin was minted.

After I got this I noticed the small x below Adams' eye. Still nice patina, seems to be somewhat original skin.

 

Not much for taking pictures, but here's my Oregon Half, NGC MS65.

 

That's beautiful!

 

Another coin I need lol.
