While not a rare issue as over 100,000 were struck, the 1924 Huguenot is a lesser encountered commem. Becoming scarcer in MS66 and above.

Really nice coin. Super pickup.
Congrats on a nice coin!
In February thru April, 1924, 142,080 pieces were coined at the Philadelphia Mint with 80 pieces reserved for annual assay and 87,000 sold for a $1 each to the public. A quantity of 55,000 pieces went back to the Treasury Department, which placed the coins into circulation. Designed by George T. Morgan chief engraver of the mint, used designs suggested by Dr. John Baer Stoudt (a Numismatist-LG). Distributed by the National Huguenot-Walloon New Netherland Commission, Inc., Rev. John Baer Stoudt, director. Associated with the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America.
Congrats. One if my favorite designs.

I really need to have one of these in my collection, as a} I like coins with ships on them and b} my mother's side of the family descends from French Huguenot immigrants to Virginia.
Nice coin!
Thanks all for your input.
Appreciate all the positive comments. Zack.
Nice Huguenot.
A key question on this commem is whether you pronounce the "t" at the end of Huguenot or not. As a dealer I specialized in commems, and i estimate about 80% of my customers pronounced the "t" and 20% said it "Huguenoe."
