Can We Post A Complete Commemorative Collection?

Beautiful, moxking!

Thanks, Guys (and/or gals)

I finally found the perfect last coin for my CSC type set and have a few days to wait for it to arrive. As I've mentioned a few times, I plan on hosting a prize contest when that very last coin is placed into it's home.

I do love those circulated commems but I just don't think I'd have patience. I'm sure that some are extremely hard to find in less than 55.

So this is just a quick note that I will have a CSC based contest in the next few days. The prize will be a very nice real life CSC

That notice is not intended to steal this thread. This is the most fun thread that I've been on in forever. But I didn't see a CSC ever being offered as a reward or a prize, and since this thread is all about that subject, I yapped.

...yes...I know that's not unusual...

Naked coin before sending away for grading. PCGS MS-64.
(Wish my photos and presentation were as good as Beefer518!).

That certainly looks better than a 64, Treemonkey.

^ Ok...

First the Columbians

#1 I bought simply because I really liked the look, and wanted an 1892. It was really, really cheap.



#2 This coin has some beautiful pastel toning, and looks so much nicer in hand. It also comes from a respected Commemoratives collector right here on CCF. He upgraded from this to a 66.





And the Isabellas...

I have a bad habit of buying things if they are stupid cheap. The first two were stupid cheap, and it's obvious why.





And my real Isabella. I love this coin in hand -




And for something else to look at;

Nice sesquicentennials, everyone.

Nice Columbians, too.

Wow Beefer, that Isabella looks great!

I posted these back at the beginning when we were going by date, but I'll do it again. Sorry for the poor photo quality on the halves - they look better in hand.
