What are your favorite modern commemoratives?
I like 2007 Jamestown, 2005 Marine Corps, and the 2001 Buffalo. |

For reasons both esthetic and sentimental, I got the Jamestown in both gold and silver proofs. Ditto for the Wright Brothers and the paired Franklin silver issues (as scientist and what - statesman?) I have a few others but those were the "gimme" issues. There are a few others, like the 2001 Buffalo, that I shoulda/woulda but didn't. I ordered the new Lincoln silver dollar, will have to see it up close and personal before I can judge the esthetics. |

What are your favorite modern commemoratives? In no particular order: -- The half and the dollar from the Columbus set. -- The P.O.W. dollar. -- The Vietnam dollar. If you force me to choose a gold or bimetallic coin, it would be the 2007-W Jamestown. I'm excluding both the the $5 Washington and the $1 Buffalo since they are rehashes of old designs. -- Michael Benveniste -- (Clarification required) Legalize Updoc. |

Maybe someday. The Lincoln commemorative does not appeal to me at all. Too much writing on the reverse. Among my favorites a - Last years Bald Eagle coins, esp. the Half Dollar. - The 2006 Old SF Mint for the Morgan Dollar reverse. - And the 1991 Mount Rushmore. |
