From the looks of some of those prices, I might just have to pick and choose a few to satisfy my need! I'll take the advice of going slow very seriously ;) I was hoping most of these comms could be had for under $100.
Thanks for the heads up :)

You could also get a couple blank half dollar pages from Whitman or Dansco and create your own commem set  |

Maybe it was just the quiet holiday period but I found a near unc stone mountain for under $30 and the 1920 pilgrim trecentenary in unc for under $60.Oregon trail in unc under 100 and the lexington is well under the $50.
Patience and timing is the key.

Yeah, I have been trying to pick up commemorative halves for under $100 and my collection is relatively small.
What's small? About a half dozen of them.

I personally would not get that coin graded. Lexingtons are among the most common commemoratives you'll find out there in lower (relatively lower, for commemoratives) grades. I'd say save the grading fee and apply it to the purchase of your next commem.

Some turn their nose up at the Ultra Modern Commem's., but I think some of them are just as beautiful !......certainly cheaper.
But throw 50 years on some of these new ones and they might double or tripple in price too......and maybe not...who knows....but they certainly have "eye appeal" IMHO as well.

But you are quite correct that some of the moderns are very nice as well. |

The statue of liberty silver dollar comes to mind for nice modern comm's.
Halfbustisbetter,i took your advice and used my left over bucks to get the booker t washington and the carver/washington halfs instead of squandering on grading that lexington.
My wee collection has grown on me , 3 columbus halfs all AU and one 1892 AU , stone mountain in AU , lexington in AU , booker t in AU and carver/washington in AU.They look great alongside walkers and franklins and barber halfs.
I missed out on the pilgrim half as I cant decide if I want that or the oregon trail half.It would be an easy decision for the oregon trail if I went by looks alone , price varys wildly between the two..decisions decisions..
