I have a PF-70 of both designs but do not have any UNC versions yet. These things did cost a fortune when they first came out and I was one of them that thought these would be worth more than they are now

Then you would have a very rare circulated modern commemorative ... and I would be very jealous.

Thanks for the update.

I like the look the coin is getting. If you pocket piece it it will shine up and loose the high point toning at least. I would keep it on the window sill over the winter and then check back.

Good point Muddler just might tote it for a week then back on the window sill I do want a bit of wear
I will say it sure does have a nice ring to it when flipped

Ahh, the sweet sound of silver. Over the years I have had to count thousands of dollars in change drawers. I counted by sound as the coin returned to the drawer and I developed a sense of hearing when a silver coin was dropped into the clad ones.

cool idea yotie. I've thought about carrying a modern commem dollar, but I havent been able to bring myself to do it. I think you should carry it with you and when you get a hankering for some color, drop it back on that window. Either way, keep posting pics every couple months so we can follow the progression!

this founding father is one that I have in my modern commem collection and it is a real beauty.
