	Early United States commemorative coins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Early period of Commemorative Coins of the United States of America traditionally begins with the 1892 Colombian Half dollar and extends through the 1954 Booker T. Washington issue.
		The profits from the sale of commemorative coins was often used to fund a specific project.
		Commemorative coins were a money raising mechanism that was an alternative to raising taxes.

		Commemorative stamps are usually used alongside ordinary or regular-issue stamps of the time, although in some cases their use has been obligatory.
		Commemoratives followed in 1891 for Hong Kong and Romania, then in 1892 and 1893 a half-dozen nations of America issued commemoratives for the 400th anniversary of the discovery by Christopher Columbus.
		The appearance of commemoratives caused a backlash among some stamp collectors, who balked at the prospect of laying out ever-larger sums to acquire the stamps of the world, and they formed the Society for the Suppression of Speculative Stamps around 1894 to fllist what they deemed to be excessive stamps.

	Coin Values
		Commemorative coins are celebratory pieces that are legal tender, but are normally not intended to be used in commerce.
		Early commemorative coin values have crept up by 10 to 20 percent, and even more, in recent months, while modern commemoratives have fallen around $5 to $10 each, due to an increasing supply of high-grade coins.
		Early commemorative gold dollars, gold $2.50 quarter eagles and the round and octagonal gold $50 pieces are also popular in high grades.

	Commemoratives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Commemorative coins are distinctly different from all other series due to the multitude of designs.
		Commemorative issues are also unique in the many ways they can be collected.
		Commemoratives are often of interest to collectors whose state issued the coin, particularly states with large populations like California, Texas and New York.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/United States Commemorative Coin
		Commemorative coinage of the United States consists of coins that have been minted to commemorate a particular event, person or organization.
		Most students of US commemorative coinage acknowledge the break between 1954 and 1982 by classifying those minted from 1892-1954 as Early Commemoratives, and those minted since 1982 as Modern Commemoratives.
		In 1932, the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington, the mint produced a circulating commemorative, the Washington Quarter.

	U.S. Commemoratives Offer History and Romance
		Personally, among commemorative silver coins I like the early issues-the Columbian half dollars of 1892 and 1893, the Isabella quarter of the latter date, and the 1900 Lafayette dollar-four coins which on their own constitute a complete commemorative collection of the era.
		This is a reflection that the designs of commemorative coins have sparked a wide diversity of opinion ever since the first half dollars of this genre were issued in 1892.
		Among commemorative coins nearly all designs of the early 1892-1954 period were criticized in their time.

		Although it released several values of the Fourth Bureau Issue of definitive stamps, just three commemoratives was a very small number, even by the standards of that day.
		The new 2¢ commemorative, however, was only a small part of an extended four-day Yorktown Sesquicentennial celebration, which began on Oct. 16 and lasting through Oct. 19.
		Regrettably, the release of a special commemorative stamp was not mentioned in the brochure.

		Large cents were coined every year from 1793 to 1857 with the exception of 1815, when a lack of copper prevented production.
		Mintage records in some cases may be inaccurate, as many of the early pieces were struck later than the dates shown on the coins.
		Numerous other die varieties may be found because each of the early dies was individually made.

		Sometimes in the life of a nation, a place (or person, anniversary or event) is of such significance that people feel it must be honored with the issuance of a special coin as a form of tribute.
		While some like the Columbian Half Dollar circulated in large quantities for several years, they were not made to be used as much as for a keepsake to recognize an event or accomplishment.
		As each is distinctive and a work of art (sometimes with very stiff competition for acceptance of a particular artists design) they are among the most beautiful of United States coins and pleasing to own if you select one that appeals to you or complete an entire set.

		Having never seen a complete collection of Early Commemoratives, I decided to try and aquire a reasonable collection in MS 65.
		As most of the key dates in MS 65 are cost prohibitive, they were purchased in MS 64, but in either first or second generation holders, with the hope that someday they would be resubmitted and would upgrade to MS 65.
		The new owner of this set should be more than pleased with his purchase as I have been overly fussy with each and every purchase.

		All regular issue coins have a denomination printed on them (unless they are too worn) and this provides a good place to start in figuring out what kind of coin you have.
		The other kinds of official US Mint issued coins are collector sets (like mint and proof sets), commemorative coins and bullion coins.
		The majority of early commemoratives from 1892-1954 were half dollars, while the majority of modern commemoratives from 1984-present are dollars.
