Uncirculated George
Popular And Intriguing U.S. Commemorative Coins
The U.S. Commemorative coins were created to celebrate and honor certain people throughout American history.However, they are also to honor places, events, and institutions as well.However, it all depends on the magnitude of influence they provided to the general public throughout history.When the coins are released there is always a limited-time offer attached to it.
Some of the coins are hard to find if they didn't have as many minted. Those who are just getting started will find certain cards are hard to find.This would depend on the supply that was released and the type of demand by collectors.Here are some of the most popular options out there today:
There was a buzz amongst collectors in 2011 when the Medal of Honor Commemorative Coin Program was released.You can obtain a gold or silver coin.Both of them provide a unique approach to this piece.If you look at the gold coin it shows the original Medal of Honor award given in the 1860s.The Army, Navy, and Air Force Medal of Honor medals are on the obverse.
It's easy to see that the gold coin is $5 and the silver coin is $1.When looking at the reverse side you will see various other images.Minerva is presented holding a shield and Union flag.It's a way to bring the past and present together as one.If you look at the silver coin you see an infantry soldier holding a wounded soldier over his shoulders.You can't truly appreciate these unless you see them first hand.
The 2009 Abraham Lincoln has been popular ever since it was released.There were a total of 500,000, but 125,000 of those were uncirculated.The bust image presented on the coin resembles the photo during the Gettysburg Address.You could also find other popular choices throughout the 21st century, but there are plenty of older ones as well.
Back in 1926 the Oregon Trail Memorial Half Dollar was introduced to the public for one dollar.Today they can be worth a healthy amount of money, even if they are considered worn.This is if you're considering the original investment of one dollar.The Oregon Trail offers plenty of American History, which is why it is still studied by kids around the country today.
When you see the Hawaiian Sesquicentennial Half Dollar you can tell why it is so popular with its unique appeal.Overall there were 10,008 minted.The designer of this coin was Juliet May Fraser.These commemorative coins were introduced in 1928.
Then of course; who can forget the 1899 Lafayette Dollar.It was actually dated 1900, but was the first legal tender coin to have a president on it (George Washington).You also see the Lafayette Dollar name on it, which was a first in history.You could also find that it showed the same person on both side of the coins, which is very rare.
If you're interested in more modern commemorative coins consider the America the Beautiful Quarters such as the Yosemite National Park quarter.The US Territory quarters are also popular like the Puerto Rico quarter.
