   This coin came out of the same collection as my recently posted OGH MS66 CAC Hawaiian, Top Pop Gold CAC Bay Bridge, and Top Pop Gold CAC Gettysburg. There are still a lot of coins waiting to be posted. Not a coin for everyone but I thought the commem collectors out there might enjoy it. . .

   Thanks @pcgscacgold. I have been fortunate enough to have found a brother duo of dealers at a local show in my area that carry a nice assortment of these classic Commems.

   That’s a beauty! We’re in the Elgin area and occasionally ride bikes past the sculpture in downtown Elgin. In the ‘70’s before certification, the going price for BU Elgins was about $35. Recently, I met a decendant of the designer, Trygve Rovelstad who showed me a few mint state coins their family has held onto.

   I don’t think I’ve seen a better strike at the mother and baby. Actually the whole damn coin. 👍

   I have a soft spot for this design since I can recall holding one for the first time, perhaps 40+ years ago, and being struck by its swirling, subtle luster. This issue has an interesting luster and it just makes the coin look really cool. I like yours very much.

   Thanks @jfriedm56 I was extremely lucky to get this grouping of coins. You are correct, not easy to find and expensive when you do find a nice one. The commems you have posted have been outstanding. The series seems to be taking off and getting more competitive. I just went to a dealer site and pre FUN he had over 25…
