@Nickels_rule: Nice collection of modern silver bullion coins! All are attractive pieces.
@Fefimo: Nice 225 year-old token. It's amazing how many different coins/tokens/medals have depicted the "St. George Slaying the Dragon" scene.
@Both: Thanks for posting!

Here's another modern commemorative silver dollar from Canada. This one is from 1979 and depicts the Griffon. The coin marks the 300th anniversary of the first voyage of the Griffon on the Great Lakes. It has a specimen finish and a mintage of 688,671. (There were a lot more collectors of Canada's commemorative silver dollars back then!) The silver dollar is 36.07 mm in diameter and weighs 23.3 grams; the composition of its planchet is 50% silver and 50% copper.

It's been far more than a year since this one was last posted, it seems like it's time for a reappearance! The coin marks two distinct dates in Norfolk's history: the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the Borough of Norfolk and the 300th anniversary of the land grant that led to the founding of the Village of Norfolk. 1936 Norfolk Land Grant and Establishment Half Dollar   My previous post on the Norfolk: 1936 Norfolk Bicentennial/Tricentennial Half DollarAdditional posts on this coin can be found here: Read More: Commems Collection Collecting history one coin or medal at a time!

Here's another classic US commemorative half dollar - the 1935 Hudson, NY 150th anniversary of Charter coin. It has been more than two years since one has been posted, so it seems like a good time for a re-post! The reverse of the coin depicts Hudson's ship, the Half Moon with a rather fanciful crescent moon in the background at left. 1935 Hudson, NY Sesquicentennial Half Dollar  I've previously posted about the coin here: 1935 Hudson. NY 150th Anniversary Half DollarFor more posts about the class US commemorative coin series: Read More: Commems Collection Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

It's been quite a long time since this one last made an appearance, so... Here's a pair of the US Pilgrim Tercentenary commemorative half dollars - one from 1920 and the other from 1921. The Mayflower is depicted on the reverse. 1920 and 1921 "Small Date" Pilgrim Tercentenary Half Dollars    You can read more about the two coins here: 1920 & 1921 Pilgrim Tercentenary Half Dollars.

Are we supposed to painstakingly go through nearly 100 pages before posting here?
