Commemorative coins in the United States were issued to honor significant historical events and noteworthy people from American history. That fact alone gives commemorative coins an appeal that attracts collectors all over the country, well beyond just those interested in numismatics. In the classic commemorative coin series (1892 to 1954), there are 50 different design types and 144 different date and mint-mark combinations. Many collectors attempt to complete either or both of these sets. A worthy endeavor!
