My first commemorative coin. Looking like it may be the first of a few, as I also like the 1999 Yellowstone and 2001 Buffalo..

I'm not used to looking at commemorative strikes, so I don't know how to grade them. Anyone want to share their thoughts? The mark on the reverse that seems to cross the F in FROM is a piece of lint. I do like the matte appearance though. I'm glad I went uncirculated instead of proof -- added bonus of a lower mintage for UNC strikes.

I can't offer any experience on grade and haven't gotten into commems but, anything with Lincoln or the Buffalo is a plus in my book.

Nice choice!

We'd need a lot better pictures to give you grade estimates. However, if it hasn't been out of the mint capsule and has a typical strike, they usually grade out 69-70. You picked a nice one to start your collection.

I've got the Yellowstone and it's nice.

Very nice!

I have this one, in proof, as part of the 2009 C&C set.

Congrats on the purchase of your first modern US commemorative!

As already noted, the grade should be either a 69 or 70 if it has never been handled outside of the US Mint capsule.

I hope you enjoy having it as part of your collection for years to come!
