I have a Columbian, a Lincoln, an Iowa, and an Oregon. At the time I was putting it together, I didn't really like many of the commems. My tastes have changed a little since then and there are others I would be willing to put in there if I could find the right coins.
I don't have any early commems, but I just put a Proof Washington and a Proof Statue of Lib in there. They look good! When I get a digicam, I'll post some pics.
Here's what I have in those 4 spaces (I have other commems, but for this album I went with a theme of American Discovery, Settlement, Migration, and my current home, San Diego:
(the pics of the 1st 2 are underexposed, those of the last 2 are overexposed... all coins are lightly toned, the Columbian most, then in decreasing order; the SD is nearly white. My camera battery died the evening I was taking pictures, and I finshed bright the next morning after it had charged)
I don't have pictures, but I have a 92 Columbian, a San Diego, a Bay Bridge, and a Rhode Island.
Got the Columbian because it was the first....the other three are from places I've lived...my theme. Would've gone for a Hawaiian, but woof $$$$$ (I would never have cracked it for the book)
Columbian, BayBridge and Calif. Jubilee. The empty 4th hole is waiting for a coin to fill it. Since I live in Cal., I am considering a San Diego, for a Cal. theme, however an Oregon is also a possiblity since I really like the look of that coin.
As of now, I have a Carver/Washington, and an '86 Statue of Liberty. I bought these to fill the holes, but have been putting more thought into it as of late. I want a: Oregon - I just love this coin. Long Island - I live on LI. Columbian - The 1st commem.

I'm looking for either a Pilgrim or Stone Mountain for the last hole.
