VKurtB Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 On 11/14/2022 at 4:01 PM, Quintus Arrius said: Alabama's centennial commemorative half dollar (1921) can be acquired for 1/10 the cost of the Hawaiin coin, but why? Two reasons. Mintage and distribution. Virtually all Hawaiian Sesquicentennial half dollars were initially distributed IN HAWAII. That’s a REALLY long swim back to the mainland.

Henri Charriere Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 My picks (w/gratuitous editorial commentary)... 1- Oregon Trail (Denver Mint only----(this pick will get me on @leeg's good side.) 2- Pilgrim 3- Texas HOWEVER... the 1936 Norfolk, VA is the most beautiful; the 1892-93 Columbian Expo is the first (and apparently cheapest); there is a, by far, the ugliest, but good manners prevent me from disclosing which. <Hint: Giant Beaver>. The following are disqualified from the competition: 1900 General Lafayette 1936 Battle of Gettysburg 1936 L. I. Tercentenary 1937 Battle of Antietam 1952. Carver-Washington (I don't care for the double-portraitures; honors should not be shared. There is nothing especially esthetically pleasing to differentiate the others not listed, from the ones that are.) 🐓 : Whew! I think we got in by a nose.
