My only concern was the preservation of this thread as an ultimate CCF commemorative resource ... but the votes are in and all coins are welcome. My intention for the balance of the scheduled thread days is to display PCGS certified honestly circulated examples from the classic silver set ... anyone who wishes to show modern State Quarters is welcome to do so I suppose.

Beefer518 Pillar of the Community United States 887 Posts	Posted 04/13/2018 12:45 am This is probably my least favorite commem. Calvert's eyes creep me out, and the reverse is, well, [yawn], less than exciting to say the least. I don't even like my example, and I looked for one for a long time. This was the first one I came across that Calvert's right eye didn't look ultra-creepy. Yes, I know that's all in the lighting, but... Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 04/13/2018 09:32 am Not one of my favorites, either. Not my least favorite, but certainly in the bottom ten. There just isn't anything exciting about this half dollar. I couldn't find my reverse, and I quit looking after a few minutes. The scratches on the obverse across the portrait are on the holder, not the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

BadDog Pillar of the Community United States 1375 Posts	Posted 04/15/2018 08:14 am and here are proof versions of both the silver dollar and the half eagle commemoratives. The bit of toning on the half eagle is much more apparent in the photo versus in-hand ... Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 04/15/2018 08:28 am TreeMonkey - I really don't find the obverse toning to be off putting on your Maryland. Partial toning is a bear for that issue and yours does not suffer unduly. I really like the Medal of Honor commemoratives. Yest another reason to make them a goal after my type completion. In this instance I do like the proof better. Beautiful examples BadDog - thanks for sharing them. Report this Post to the Staff
