Stunning! Have others noticed how the California and Vancouver commems are often found with the same spectrum of blue to green toning that most other commems do not feature? It is also different in hue and depth to the Columbian half dollars.

Yes, Columbians look like this
Wonderful

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
What a beauty PQ Commem! Congrats!
WOW! I like it as well. Great color.
I would be interested to see the various packaging for each commem. Each one has a particular look to it. Cal's have the same, Columbians, the five coin holders with tab toning, even Arkansas even though not really attractive.
Both are awesome. I tried to quit collecting them but I just couldn't stay away.
Wonderful coins!
Nice looking commemorative!

The California is beautiful and the others are very nice too! Looks like you're having fun with your new collection!
Beautiful California commem!
Yes, and the California and Vancouver commems also share a similar "shiny" luster, almost chrome-like in some cases, that doesn't appear on any other coins.
I have also seen Norse Medals with similar luster and toning to the California and Vancouver commems. The mint definitely did something unique with these 1925 coins.
nice commem.
That is a nice Cali....thanks for posting!

Might it have to do with the different mint presses?
Beauty Cali!
Here are a couple of the cards Columbians were given out in:

Those are all awesome commems! Got any more to show off?
Color adds a whole new dimension to commems. And yours are in the top 10% for grat toning.
OINK
All three coins are very nice.
I really like this one even though the detail on the reverse is not the best
Then there's this one:
And the last one for the day:
That truview makes it really pop!
What do you mean "what I don't usually collect"? It looks exactly like what you collect. Nice coins overall!
All of them are very attractive.
I collect little red shiny things. I wanted to have some fun doing something a little different, so I picked up a few of these colorful thingies.
