Bert, You could try to obtain an older Maple Leaf with younger effigies on them, 1980s and 1990s. I personally like the 1990s effigy above the others if I had a gun to my head. Possibly go for an old Kookaburra.

Obviously I love the old Libertad coins, which is why I don't carry them in my pockets.

Bertensgrad - I'm curious as to your pocket piece criteria.

Do you have a minimal silver fineness requirement? A couple of the coins in my current rotation are down to 50% (1983 Canadian Edmonton silver dollar, which is my birth year piece, and a 1942 Geo. VI Half Crown). My other current ones are my 2013 ASE (daughter's birth year), and a 1926-S Peace dollar. I like higher fineness coins myself, however the US silver offering for 1983 consists of only the LA Olympics silver dollar; I have one that I got from a dealer's junk commemorative dollars box, and I hate the discus thrower design. Had been toting an 1883-O Morgan for some time, but I retired it since it did nothing but bring me bad luck!

I'm thinking of picking up a 2015 dated coin to commemorate my son's birth. Thinking of doing a Libertad for him. Thought also of doing a 2015 US Marshall's commemorative dollar, but I don't want to pay the premium for something that's going to ride around in my pocket and wear down.

Also - what's your preference as far as a circulating silver coin (so, hence, something older) vs. NCLT/commems vs. bullion?

The big thing was it needed to be a 2017 dated silver coin. I decided that the one that pleased me the most is Australian Kangeroo, the queen has a normal crowned profile portrait and the security lines gives it great detail and texture.

His mother spent a few months in australia so she approves haha. I have alot of personal ties ro Mexico and Canada. Maybe by the next child the bullion coins will be slightly different. I'm hoping she waits 5 years for the next one.

Im not fond of the canadian 1/4 turn potrait style at all. Its why I hate some Presidential dollars.
