This was an interesting overview of the capital city topic. Thank you for sharing it.

Quote:
There were 10 cities that were honored with a commemorative coin during the classic era

True that - and IMO not a single one of them were worthy of an event of National commemorative significance. You can imagine how I feel about the significance of the commemoration of York County, ME.

Quote:
The Columbia, SC half dollar is still on my list for "someday."

It's a beautiful design on a historic coin - I hope you can acquire one someday.

This has been an amazing journey into (for me) little know coinage entities and their resulting amazing coins.

Have truly enjoyed watching all of it evolved.

Thank you for sharing all of your fabulous coins - and a well earned Tip of the Cap to MachinMachinMan for your fabulous hosting of the series.

I much appreciate all of the coin contributions. Thank you for them.

this is toning.

Significant enough that it could be called environmental damage. Not an error.

Thank you @commems for sharing that Top 10 listing. I'm a little bit surprised by the remarkable popularity of some of those modern commemoratives.

I recall standing in a long line with you to purchase the Baseball HOF $1 coin. If only we had splurged on 58 more between us the coin would have sold out.

Quote:
I am feeling an urge to wade into the modern commemorative waters to acquire the things I have missed out on over the years.

I'm interested in several of the modern gold $5 commemoratives due to what I consider to be outstanding designs - but alas the price of gold has them out of my budget league.
