Great finds... Now if I could get halves like that I wouldn't do so many pennies.


Keep up the good work!

Way to go TT....so far I've only ever found one Commemorative that was Ag, a 1954 Washington/Carver Half.....

Congrats! Never find a commemorative. Not even clad commemorative. Do you edge-search or look at each coin?

Good job as always Tim.

Do Bi-Centennials count as commeratives??

 

[HolyDiver]

I haven't seen that Monroe Doctrine Commemorative yet, WTG.

 

[Seagates]

Nice haul! From Browsing ebay a bit those 1923 Monroe Doctrine in decent shape coins go for 30-60 bucks!

TXTim;
I found one of the Monroe Doctrine commemoratives last month.....very cool coin!! Here is my post from then:

I found this interesting 1923 S Monroe Doctrine Centennial Coin in a box today! 90% silver in composition, the coin was controversial when it came out because of the sinuously-posed female figures holding a tree branch between them on the reverse, representing the continents of North and South Americas. Only 274,000 were minted.

Thanks! I do about 3K a week on halves.

Thanks - They are getting tougher to find.

Always face search halves - pretty easy and well worth the time - also "sound" search!

Good job as always Tim.

Thanks enamel!

Do Bi-Centennials count as commeratives??

No - that Bi in the pic is a 40%'r. The commem's, 87 & 40 Bi made for a lot of interesting keepers.

Thanks - can't beat that for $.50!!!

Congrats on a good score

Thanks Griz - I remember that. It's the first thing I thought of when looking at the reverse!
2 in 2 months! What are the odds?
