Commemoratives

[BuffaloBoy]

Hi all, I was just wondering what kinds of commemoratives you guys and gals have found in your "career" of CRH... commemoratives found in the reject bin at the coinstar machine, penny arcade, in boxes of pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and halves.

I personally have not found any commemotatives(other than 2x 1976-s CuNi proof bicentennials which I do not consider commems.)

Also while posting your commemorative finds, if you have a picture of the coin (or if you still have the coin, take a picture) and post it on here, just curious to see how common commemotatives are in circulation, afterall, someone had to pay a premium for the coin at one point, whether it is valueble or not.

Also, any stories that want to be told about getting those commems in circulation, feel free! HH~

That's just some awesome finds!!! $22,000 searched and nothing yet, can you, if possible, specify if the coin is silver or not(for the newer commems)

Love the pics, reminds me on what is still out there, a coin that needs a good home

Today I just found a 1993 (1991-1995) WWII commemorative half to add to my collection. I've added it to my finds on my previous post.

100k searched and still waiting for my first one... My kids and I would be thrilled with even finding a single clad commerative...

I've only gotten the one with the statue of liberty on it (clad) better than nothing though Got it in the coin album.
