In the past month, I have attended two coin shows over a three day period and found three Classic Commemoratives:
1892 50C Columbian NGC AU Details Damaged
1893 25C Isabella NGC AU Details Cleaned
1900 $1 Lafayette NGC VF Details Cleaned
If anyone is curious, here's what I paid:
1892: $30
1893: $180
1900: $387
Apologies for lack of images, but, mine are too large and I don't know how to crop them.

And the semi-obligatory addendum from me: for those who don't want to download an app for it and don't like Pixlr's recent switch to a paid service, the deprecated CCF Image Optimizer still works (sporadically) at least in some desktop browsers. I hadn't been able to make it work on mobile, though. |

@Longacre Fan: May I ask why you went with "Details" coins vs. unimpaired examples?

Commems, I went with details examples, in this case, as that's what my budget allows. Funny thing, I did see an MS 63 or MS 64 Isabella Quarter, but, by that time my budget was too far gone and the eye appeal just didn't grab me. Perhaps one day I will work to upgrade, but, the CC series doesn't hold my attention with every piece. My one true love in that series is the Roanoke, which, I have in a nice MS 66. I will endeavor to post pictures at some point, but, I'm a busy college kid. LOL! Three guesses for my screen name.. |

 Lafayette Dollar graded VF Details by NGC. Sorry for the crappy cropping, but, I've never done this before. If the certification number is visible, just run it through NGC. Their pics are way better than mine. If it's not visible, here it is: 6884176-003.

I'd say good deal on the Isabella....I might have to go that route myself, MS examples with good eye appeal are way pricey.

Nice examples!  I have a details coin or two in my collection as well. Budget friendly, but still have eye appeal.  |

Interesting that you chose Details coins - but they do not look so bad in the images provided.
Take a look at my other hobby ... https://www.jk-dk.artToo many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time. |
