40 years ago in 1982 the modern commemorative era started with the Washington half dollar. While IMO many of the modern commemoratives are unattractive, there is no question that many are also quite attractive. Post a modern commemorative design that you like. Use PCGS's list of modern clad, silver and gold commemoratives to determine what is acceptable... e.g. no bullion coins, State quarters etc.

    Good! For some reason I know you wouldn't be posting a damaged coin (rim reeding hit) from another coin.

    The Statue of Liberty half dollar ... The best design that is dirt cheap.
