I've been keen to take advantage of silver's recent downturn and was trolling ebay this weekend. I found a 2007 Little Rock UNC dollar with a low bid, I tracked it and manually snipped it for less than $25 all in!! Just arrived today and it is a beauty! I'm stunned that I got a nice modern silver commem in OGP for less than $25.  And one that I've really really wanted to boot!      I'll get to photos when the weather clears.

All I can contribute is the UNC version of the 2005 Marines, (and I have the proof 1882 George half but obviously not for for this thread). Awesome set Muddler, I'd like to get the whole series as well, both UNC's and proofs. Probably the UNC's first, as I love the look of them. Or at least all of the millitary ones for now, I really really like P.O.W. memorial, just a beautiful design.

Great Thread Muddler, I really like the 06 Franklin, a fan of his work I have a few pieces bearing his 'Mind your Business/Sundial' imagery, gotta get one of those issues. I looked through what I have and can add some Dollar coin images. I'm wondering what is the reasoning was behind the headless Olympians featured on the '84s was? I find no explanation for this anywhere. Here's 1983 Oly's S and D, these came from three coin sets I purchased mainly for the 10d golds, I only now see that apparently someone switched out an S with the D, I'll take it, only 174k 84s came out of Denver. Note 'The Fog' moving in on the S...

Nice additions steelheadwill and jbuck. This was a fun set to accumulate and photograph. At least my photos have improved over the years.

Interesting that I am slowing gravitating to the 'modern' side of these tremendous coins ... Have acquired direct from the mint the prior 4 years (?) of UNC silver dollar commemorative ... not sure how back that goes as all are in safe boxes.  Suppose I am setting the stage to someday tackle this series ... I am a known fan of commemorative coins. Great photos and sharing by all .... Special thanks to muddler for keeping this thread moving.  David
