[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2268194, member: 76194"]I do have shallow pockets for the rest of this month thanks to purchasing the 1819 fifty cents, 1840 fifty cents, 1858 flying eagle cent, and 1869 two cent piece. However, there is always next month. I don't mind waiting and saving a month or two for a special coin. In fact, if it's special enough, I don't mind foregoing other coins and saving 3-4 months for something special. I think what burned me out at age 16 was the large collection of mediocre and mostly junk late 19th century and early 20th century coins. None were anything special. It was all I could afford, but deep down inside I got that blah feeling after a while. This time around I'm willing to spend more to get the right coins that genuinely interest me because of design, history, rarity, unusualness, or beauty. So talk to me, what classic commemoratives would most of you think are special and good representatives of the whole program? I'm willing to take a look, study them, think about it...and maybe get some of them eventually if they end up interesting me enough. I'm asking for honest opinions on what you think one should look at in the field of commemoratives...a little guidance, and I'll take it from there.[/QUOTE]
