Commems Collection Questions: Answer #22 - Same Person, Multiple Coins

Coinfrog asked:



Within the classic-era series:

1. George Washington: 1900 Lafayette Silver Dollar and 1926 American Independence Sesquicentennial Half Dollar

2. William McKinley: 1903 Louisiana Purchase Exposition Gold Dollar and 1916-17 McKinley Memorial Gold Dollar

3. Daniel Boone: 1921 Missouri Statehood Centennial and 1934-38 Daniel Boone Birth Bicentennial

4. Confederate General Robert E. Lee: 1925 Stone Mountain Memorial Half Dollar and 1937 Battle of Antietam 75th Anniversary Half Dollar

I suppose the list could also include US Grant as his portrait appeared on the 1922 Silver Dollar and 1922 Gold Dollar. As the two coins were issued as part of the same commemorative program and share a common design, I lean toward keeping them off this list.


If the classic-era and modern-era series are combined:

1. Christopher Columbus: 1892-93 World's Columbian Exposition Half Dollars and 1992 Christopher Columbus Quincentenary Half Eagle, Silver Dollar and CuNi Clad Half Dollar

2. George Washington: 1900 Lafayette Silver Dollar and 1926 American Independence Sesquicentennial Half Dollar and 1999 George Washington Death Bicentennial Gold Half Eagle

3. Thomas Jefferson: 1903 Louisiana Purchase Gold Dollar and 1993 Thomas Jefferson Silver Dollar

4. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark: 1904-05 Lewis and Clark Exposition Gold Dollars and 2004 Lewis and Clark Silver Dollar

5. Abraham Lincoln: 1918 Illinois Statehood Centennial and 2009 Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Silver Dollar


Depending on what you want to include (classic-era, modern-era, circulating, etc.) the list can grow quite large.
