commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12417 Posts	Posted 07/14/2022 6:28 pm Introductory Note: I have posted about many different aspects of the history of US commemorative coins here in the US Commemoratives area of CCF, most with "Commems Collection" in their title to enable automatic inclusion on the "Commems Collection" list created by Bobby. In addition, however, I have also posted about the design elements found on many of the coins over in the "Post Your..." galleries area, as well as within posts here under non-coin-specific titles. I've decided to collect these multiple design discussions for each coin of the series in one place for quick access, I present... 1936 California-Pacific International Exposition / "San Diego" - Design Element Discussion Threads - 1936 California-Pacific International Exposition / "San Diego" - Coins Depicting Places - 1936 California-Pacific International Exposition / "San Diego" - Coins with Hands - 1936 California-Pacific International Exposition / "San Diego" - Coins with Hats - 1936 California-Pacific International Exposition / "San Diego" - Coins Depicting the Animal Kingdom - 1936 California-Pacific International Exposition / "San Diego" - Coins with a Ship - 1936 California-Pacific International Exposition / "San Diego" - Coins with a Cornucopia - 1936 California-Pacific International Exposition / "San Diego" - Coins with a Seal/Shield/Coat-of-Arms - 1936 California-Pacific International Exposition / "San Diego" - Coins Depicting Mythology - Quick Bits #25 - Let's Talk Agriculture - Quick Bits #69 - Coins With Belfries - Official Seals On Classic US Commemoratives - Part V 1936 California-Pacific International Exposition / "San Diego" Half Dollar For other of my posts about commemorative coins and medals, including more on the history of the "San Diego" half dollar and other Design Discussion Index posts, see: Commems Collection.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15718 Posts	Posted 07/14/2022 6:49 pm I truly enjoy reading your excellent 'short stories' posted in the 'Coins With' section of the forum that you reference with each of these design discussion threads. They are invaluable links to your outstanding research and writing. Example - I read and agreed with your summary of Minerva multiple responsibilities as a god in the Coins Depicting Mythology link - and never considered that element vice the use on this coin. Amazing contributions commems. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
