I like the West Point Bicentennial dollar. It was the first one I bought, and that may be why it is my favorite.

 

Cool coin.

 

Put me down as a Dolly Madison admirer too.

 

(regarding '84 tonner)

What amazes me is that these coins can be had today for way less than what the mint issued them back in '84. $28 for one of these was a little steep at that time considering the demands and responsibilities of family and a new house.

 

In gold

I guess if I had to pick just one it would be the gold 1999-W George Washington $5.
plus it is a semi low mintage :thumb:

 

my most favorite commemorative coin and i cant believe no one said it yet:
1996 Community Service Dollar

2000 Library of Congress 10$

This one. I wish we had a bi-metalic circulating coin (then we could drop both the one & five dollar bills ).

I also like the Columbus Dollar, with the "half sailing ship, half space shuttle" look.

 

My wife (librarian) would approve most definately.....

 

I can still kick myself today for not buying one of those when I had the chance. Back in 2004 or 2005 (can't remember the year) I had a chance to buy the proof one for $600, but I was too busy buying other stuff. Now if I only had a do-over, I would definitely do it over and buy that one.

 

Totally missed the boat on that one myself Joe. Had a chance, just didn't pull the trigger. And now we have a truly classic and unique coin as it's the only us coin minted in two separate metals.

 

I salute Ira Hayes and his service to protect our freedom. Thank you for making me take a deeper look at the men that raised the American flag at Iwo Jima. I am native american, my son is a marine. My passion for this coin is deeper than before.
