commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12251 Posts	Posted 07/27/2022 07:25 am 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... 1918 Illinois Statehood Centennial - Design Element Discussion Threads - 1918 Illinois Statehood Centennial - Coins with a Statue - 1918 Illinois Statehood Centennial - Coins Depicting the Animal Kingdom - 1918 Illinois Statehood Centennial - Coins with Stars - 1918 Illinois Statehood Centennial - Coins with Flora - 1918 Illinois Statehood Centennial - Coins Depicting the Sun - 1918 Illinois Statehood Centennial - Coins Depicting a Seal / Coat-of-Arms - 1918 Illinois Statehood Centennial - Coins with a Public Service Career Theme - Quick Bits #19 - Unnamed Sponsors - Quick Bits #30 - 1918 Illinois Statehood Centennial Coin Sales - Quick Bits #66 - Misunderstood US Commemorative Coins - Government Officials - Part I - Presidents - US Commemorative Coin Firsts - Part I - US Commemorative Coin Firsts - Part II - Did You Know? #13 - Rim Treatments - Did You Know? #19 - Presidents 1918 Illinois Statehood Centennial Half Dollar For other of my posts about commemorative coins and medals, including more on the history of the Illinois half dollar and other Design Discussion Index posts, see: Commems Collection.

hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3634 Posts	Posted 07/27/2022 4:02 pm Thanks, commems! As I've mentioned in earlier posts regarding this commemorative, I've always felt there was a bit of similarity of the eagle reverse to some Mexican coin issues. This portrayal of Lincoln is one of my favorites. Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.

Maybe like on this one...a 1950 Cinco Pesos commemorative for the Southern Railroad? (Image Credit: Heritage Auctions. I didn't have a scan of my example - mine has less toning!)

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5819 Posts	Posted 07/27/2022 5:47 pm I would like to draw a beard on President Lincoln... The reverse is Classic with the eagle wings in a upward stretched position, that shows strength in the eagle . Report this Post to the Staff
