    As a naive square easterner my brother in San Francisco invited me to his place for two weeks to relax and celebrate my recent college graduation a couple of decades ago. First time Iimage ever been west of the Mississippi. I feel in love with the free spirit of the city and really dove into the museums and history of old San Fran. After that trip I have a sort of centimental association towards that half dollar. After I entered the real working world one of first expensive (relative for me) slabbed coins was a white with perimeter toning MS63 one that I still have today. I would love to find a toned gem and would enjoy if anyone could post one.

    To travel on in old accustomed ways
    I still remember the talks by the water
    The proud sons and daughter
    That knew the knowledge of the land
    Spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways

  • I like the Bay Bridge commem. Besides the fact that it has a bear on it, I'm fond of the overall coin and the SF theme.

    LM,
    That is too cool, your name came up at our local coin club meeting a couple of months ago regarding your finds, our club President and his son do undersea treasure seeking off the coast of Florida and are still seeking some of the missing galleon wreck treasures. Happy hunting!
    Joe
