Both San Diego issues and three Washington/Carver. Doing a little catch up from yesterday.

Those Carver/Washingtons look great but holy cow, did they not have a map to work from? I can freehand state borders more accurately than that.

Yeah, Mox has quite a set! I think he's looking to surpass Gregg Bingham. ;)

Same coin. I started making these for some of the commems, and will eventually do something similar for all of them.

Beefer - I absolutely love your idea with the single page information about each commemorative. Each that you've shown is well thought out and really does tie the coin to the historical significance of that item.

PLEASE - if you ever get them done for all 50 type - I would be more than happy to buy a set from you, or trade something juicy. I'm putting that request out on the open forum, rather than PM'ing you because you might have a few others respond in kind. If you can get several of us interested, it might move you to make the effort to do the fun work for all of them.

As for my set, I had the goal in mind of making it to fit into the registration in the top 20, which I've done. It was particularly difficult to do so since I have so many PCGS included in my collection. There is a long story concerning why the set was so important to me, but that is for another day when I post a contest concerning that information.

Here is my Cincinnati. One of my least favorite commems.

Beefer - you have a great Cincinnati. As you know, finding examples in 65 that aren't ugly with some type of spotty toning is a challenge. You certainly found a lovely example.

I really like the Cincinnati design, elegant and simple. It was one of my last additions to the early set.
