mike31093 Valued Member United States 354 Posts	Posted 09/14/2023 2:21 pm Another beautiful coin from the US Mint. From US MINT: "Released on May 6, 1991, this silver dollar commemorated the thirty-eighth anniversary of the ending of the Korean War and in honor of those who served." Designers: Obverse - John Mercanti Reverse - James Ferrell Mintage: 618,488 Presentation is a little odd to me. The felt presentation box measures 5 1/2" x 3 3/4". Very impressive but I wonder why such a large box. It opens much like the boxes used for medals of war. Other commems I have use a smaller, square box. Commems always has an impressive write-up: http://goccf.com/t/430089 Report this Post to the Staff

Erscolo Valued Member United States 425 Posts	Posted 09/14/2023 6:14 pm I collect some of the modern commemoratives, and none of the classic ones, and this is one of those I do have. Thank you for sharing. The mint did tend to use the larger boxes during that period of time. Report this Post to the Staff

Well, I have to admit that I wasn't all that enthused about the commemoratives in my collection. That is until I started posting and reading your commentaries. I recently bought the 2024 Handbook of United States Coins and was floored when I saw just how many commemoratives have been produced. I will be adding to my collection but only in a limited way. I'll be searching for the 1994 Vietnam Vets and POW coins. Who knows after that... Edited by mike31093 09/15/2023 8:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
