I will have to admitt. That my favorite commemorative is the 1982 George Washington Bicentennial as designed by Elizabeth Jones. If I recall it was the first coin designed soley by a woman. As a note I prefer the uncirculated version over the proof version. It's much rarer. catman  |

I have to agree with you catman. A very nice coin that is so overlooked in my opinion. These coins can still be picked up in the $5 range in either proof or uncirculated. With a total mintage of 2,210,458 in unc, that seems pretty good for the price. The proofs have a total of 4,894,044.

Your dad may be right Rachel, but it sure makes my heart go pitter-patter a little faster than normal. |

That's funny! You can just about picture QEII doing that too... Old Dan- the Spanish Trail is one of the few coins that Dad and I don't agree on. I guess everyone can't be perfect! Rachel [:p] |

Thanks, Catman. The link in your message worked. And let me say that it was well worth the wait. [OO!]. Richard, I also checked the link in your latest post and that link works fine. Probably something funky in my computer on the other one. |
