What Is Your Favorite Commemorative?

Nice story Lancek. I do like that coin.

I posted the Smithsonian dollar as my favorite modern US commemorative, but this is my favorite of the half-dozen or so classic commemoratives that I own. It's especially interesting this year as major events are taking place in the UK to mark the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrim Fathers:

@pepactonius, I too like that Lion's Club dollar. REALLY like the reverse, not so much the obverse. Nice coin.

I love Commemorative Coins. I'm just now starting to concentrate on a nice Commemorative Collection. The next two that I want to add/currently searching for, would be the Gettysburg Commemorative Silver Half Dollar and the Oregon trail.

My three recent additions.

Difficult question to answer. I tend to like a particular coin because of ? ... Luster, design, production proficiency, toning, relief, i.e. some outstanding characteristic which makes that specimen special. I have a 144 pc PCGS set and the only thing I'm really sure of is that cost has little to do with favoritism. Naturally some designs seem to strike an artistic appeal chord with the majority of collectors. I suppose if pinned to the wall I'd have to say the Frasers' art is nice as depicted by the Oregon trail series. They even wear down to Good or AG gracefully.

Very nice!

I have both the 1892 & 1893 Columbian Exposition half dollars, which are my two favorites. My third would be the Isabella Quarter.

Anybody have a least favorite ? Mine - Old tenor silver : Alabama both var. , Old tenor gold 16/17 McKinley. The most boring series to collect in the classic set ? Boone. C/W . Tossup for those two. Consolation you can obtain 'original' sets for most of their dates. (with patience)
