I like this Columbian half dollar because of the color.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

I ain’t got any🙁. It seems that once again you are opening a new project. Your help with the 46-64 Roosies was awesome. Gunna have to study up. I’m also open to suggestions for a first purchase. Thanks 🙏
@jzyskowski there are many cool designs on early commemerative coins. I like the Vermont the best, but you can check out the different designs and choose which ones you prefer.

Vermont has been my favorite since the 80's. Oregon trail is great, but Vermont is a one year thats tougher to find. Post a favorite of yours.
This one is not in my hands yet, but should be very soon. Its also will be my first coin that has a CAC. CAC was not in existence when I acquired 95 percent of my collection.
I believe this to be the intended design but was changed because at the time buildings/structures were not allowed on coins...,
...,and this was the monument chosen to represent the reverse.
I would rather join with an army of sheep led by a lion, than an army of lions led by sheep.
The 2023 Morgan looks like it has duck lips and the 2023 Peace hasher mouth open . They look strange and the way they are frosted these days looks way too granular for me. I prefer the way cameos used to look.

Another fav modern:
This is about early commems? If modern counts then I’ve got several. @ Che_Grapes. The 2008 eagle is my favorite too. I have one tucked away.

Of the classic commens, I think the Oregon trail probably has the largest number of fans. So here is another:
