Mraderm946 Valued Member United States 201 Posts	Posted 06/04/2015 8:33 pm Love the photos. Why did you choose these particular pieces? Catch your eye somehow? I've started my own collection of classic commemoratives since this thread concluded. So far I've picked up a 1936 Oregon Trail, a 1918 Illinois, a 1922 U.S. Grant and a 1946 BT Washington. All coins are MS 63 to 66. Love these pieces of history and to me, these were most significant. Report this Post to the Staff
barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5862 Posts	Posted 06/04/2015 10:07 pm Good question! I picked the Columbian Exposition because it was the first commemorative half dollar made. I picked the Pilgrim Tercentenary and the Lexington-Concord Sesquicentennial because I'm from Massachusetts. I picked the Oregon Trail because it is very iconic and represents an important part of U.S. history (plus, the fact that many of the people who traveled on the Oregon Trail came from Massachusetts). Finally, I picked the Hudson Commemorative because it has what I consider to be the strangest design of any U.S. coin and is just a fun coin to own.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15509 Posts	Posted 06/06/2015 3:46 pm barryg ... Pleased to view your belated photos and read your thoughts on the coins significance. Sorry you missed the original thread ... anyone reading all the pages of commems 'days of' thread is in for a treat of knowledge sharing on this tremendous series. I enjoyed viewing again that lovely toned Oregon Trail half. Your photography brings out the surface colors very well ... a skill I have not mastered.
