commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12282 Posts	Posted 02/27/2012 7:54 pm I thought it would be fun to see which modern (i.e., NCLT) commemorative silver dollars are the favorites among CCF members. Any commemorative dollar coin from 1971 to the present is eligible -- post your favorite and let us all know the reason(s) behind your selection. I'll get things started... Among the modern commemorative dollars, I am partial to those portraying a theme of "Exploration." Among such coins, I find the 1989 Sir Alexander Mackenzie Bicentennial piece to be the one that most captures my attention. Its commemorative design of Mackenzie standing in his canoe, leading his team through an unexplored river valley in the northwest of Canada is dynamic, well-executed and compelling. Kudos to designer John Mardon! Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff

I choose this just because it is a classic Canadian image - Mountie on horseback. (Not my coin in the photo - just grabbed one from the web!) Report this Post to the Staff

parkay Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 03/09/2012 10:14 pm Mine is the 2006 Victoria Cross Anniversary dollar. I love the design and the gold plating really makes it stand out. My father and uncles served in WWII and I have a lot interest in things from that time period Report this Post to the Staff
