The Dolley Madison would have to rank right up there with one of my favorite moderm commemoratives.

I do like the Dolley Madison, but my favorite is last years Apollo 11 coin. I love the subject matter of that one.
The Dolly Madison commemorative is one of the few coins that shows a private company. The "T&Co." logo on the reverse is for Tiffany and Company. The only other coin that shows a private company is the Franklin half dollar which has "Stow and Pass" on the Liberty Bell on the reverse who made the Liberty Bell. I can't think of any other US coins with a private company shown on the coin.

I gotta agree. The Dolly is probably my favorite too.

I have always liked the 2-coin Leif Ericson set.
My pocket piece, of course...

For some reason I like the 1992 Columbus $5.
The Dolley Dollar is the only one that I like.
Just the Obverse.
The US Marshall 50c coin design is just so bonkers I can’t help but to like it.
Nice! How long have you been carrying it?
Dolly Madison because I think that the design is attractive.
And the 1999 Washington $5 gold piece. It gave collectors the opportunity to own a coin bearing the design that should have been on the Washington Quarter.
In August, it will be two years. Hoping it becomes a "condition rarity" piece someday!

Apollo for me. But I also like the 1982 Washington commem.
My favorite modern commem would be one that I could trade for a classic commem.

1989-D Congress silver dollar, with rare medallic alignment (error).
These were made on my coins press (before I owned it):
U.S. Type Set
I like this one because of the subject matter.
A pair of toned Olympics that are favorites.
I guess I don't have one. I've never paid modern commems any attention.
On second thought, maybe the Apollo. I did get a couple of those. It seemed like something worthy of commemoration.
This 1989-S Congress Dollar is among my favorites because of the perfectly positioned toning. I have others but need to look them up.
Those are cool. I just put two of them on the BST though.
My favorite is the Mark Twain dollar of 2016.
Mark Twain Commemorative Dollar 2016
I like the design and the subject.
The Mysterious Egyptian Magic Coin
Coins in Movies

1999 $5 Washington by far.
That toning is, indeed, perfect!
I always liked The Texas Rangers Badge so when these came out I got a couple.....
You don't mess with TEXAS!!!!!
This is my favorite (obverse at least) for its symbolism, and the interesting composition of using barbed wire in a manner similar to stars.
Apollo 11 commem for me as well as one I have from Monnai du Paris (mintage 1000). They are unfortunately cell phone pics:
I don't have an absolute favorite, but have always liked these issues:
