What do you have in the Dansco 7070 Commemorative slots?

Millertime

I've been debating on what coins I'll stick in the Commemorative Dollar (1983-Date) slot and the (4) Half Dollar Commemorative slots. For the Dollar I plan on putting a proof (since I have the Bicentennial slots and the State Quarter in Silver Proof and the Sac and SBA in proof). I've won the 2005 Marine, 1987 Constitution and the 1988 Olympic (all proof) on eBay but they all have boxes and COA so I don't really want to break them out.

I think I'll hold out for a 2002 Salt Lake Olympic for the Dollar Commemorative (since I live in Salt Lake and I also visited Olympic Square when the Olympics were here). As for the (4) Half Dollars I'm think of putting a Stone Mountain, Texas Centennial, Oregon Trail, Bay Bridge or California Diamond Jubilee.

What coins do you have in your Commemorative slots?

Right now, four empty holes.

For the modern, I have a Statue of Liberty. Here are my halves:

The way you've been going those must be about the only holes left.

I've had a real rotating cast of characters, but at the moment it goes --

1. 1892 Colombian, target album-toned AU
2. 1925 Stone Mt., grubby XF45
3. 1982 Washington, gem cameo proof (TOUGH to break out of its capsule w/o harming it!!)
4. 1986 Statue of Liberty clad half dollar gem cameo proof

and in the dollar slot, 1986 Statue of Lib, gem cameo proof as usual.

Back when I did it, I had an 1892 Columbian (slider), a 1920 Pilgrim (MS62-ish), a San Diego (MS63, PCGS crackout), and a Stone Mountain (MS63-ish), if I recall correctly.

Those capsules are a beetch. I broke out the three Bicentennials from a Silver Proof Set and I ended up with a little scratch on Washington's head, luckily I have thre reverses facing out so you don't notice the scratch until you turn the page over. Cracking slabs is much, much easier than those stupid little capsules.

I have a Lewis and Clark commem dollar in the modern commem slot, but I am thinking about replacing it with one of the very popular Jefferson dollars. What do you think?

Basically, none of the modern dollars excite me. I just plugged in what I already had. If there's one you like, by all means...

1918 Illinois centennial,1893 columbian, 1946 Iowa Centennial, and 1926-S Oregon Trail,
The dollar, a proof statue of Liberty.

Same for me, but no sad face. I don't collect commems and they don't interest me, so the holes remain empty. If it was one hole, I would have filled it, but 4 was a poor choice, IMO.

1. 1892 Colombian, AU
2. 1934 Maryland, XF toned
3. Currently the invisible commemorative (i.e. empty hole)
4. 1982 Washington, BU

I just finished the commem half section with a Columbian, Stone Mountain, Oregon Trail, and Booker T. Washington. As for the dollar slot, I will not place a Proof coin in there since I don't like the way Dansco albums treat Proof coins (instead of golden or yellow toning, I generally get ugly milkiness and spotting on Proof coins). I have some UNC commem dollars in my safe deposit box and am considering Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone, or the Buffalo Dollar ("Americana") to occupy that slot.

You might want to create a theme. I have west coast and California theme for the commems.

One thing I've noticed with the Proofs is that any dust or lint that's on the slide really shows up. I have a couple area that I just can't get the dust off.

1892 Columbian(55), 1921 Pilgrim (55), 1935 San Diego (63) and 1925 Stone Mountain (55). For the dollar an Unc. Dolly Madison--to match my Bust half. For whatever reason I'm not too fond of modern proof coins. IMO they to look out of place in a Dansco with mixed grades--to bright and shiny. I replaced a proof Franklin and a proof George Washington Comm for that reason.

I went with a theme for America: Discovery, Settlement, Expansion West, and our Finest City, and my hometown, San Diego

The dollar slot is the West Point dollar...only because there isn't an Annapolis dollar yet

My halves are the Columbian (I liked the design and it was the first)...and the San Diego, Bay Bridge, and Rhode Island (from places I have lived...would've put a Hawaiian but just too darn expensive)

Baley...you still suck royally !!!
