I hate to say it but I bet this coin looks better in Proof
but I do like the mintage numbers for a coin I picked up cheaper than an AU Peace dollar
so for your viewing pleasure

Another nice coin in OGP!

IMHO, it's a design that looks good in either uncirculated or proof. One advantage for the uncirculated coin is that it won't develop the milky haze that eventually impacts so many modern proof coins and lessens their visual appeal.

I've got this one in the two coin set and even side by side I can't decide which finish I like better.

As I have the two coin set and am prone to like the proofs better I do agree on this one. I just wish they could have made a better image of the geyser.

LOL Any coin with the American Bison ends up in my collection sooner or later.
I have both of these MS and Pf both are great in there own ways
On most modern commems I like the MS or unc, ones better than the proofs.
And for the most part they seem to hold there value or go up faster than the proofs.
I am working on a set of Modern commems to leave to my grandson one day.
