commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12308 Posts	Posted 07/02/2012 2:47 pm The first two responses were correct! The top coin is the obverse of a 1928 Hawaiian -- the waves along the rim and the triangular volcanoes at the bottom were the most relevant clues. The bottom coin is the reverse of a 1976 Kennedy-Bicentennial half-dollar. Good guessing! Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.
