  • Collecting Classic Commemorative Coinage
    Liberty Coin Service Collecting Classic Commemorative Coinage by Thomas Coulson By the mid-Nineteenth Century, the United States of America had cel- ebrated many important milestones and events. Citizens often wanted mementos of these occasions and private companies filled this demand for some events by selling commemorative medals. The United States Mint recognized the strong interest for commemoratives of national events and issued official medals on special occasions such as the U.S. Centennial of Independence. These commemorative medals were pop- ular, but lacked the full ‘legitimacy’ of a legal tender issue. The U.S. Mint first issued commemorative coinage in 1892 in conjunction with the World’s Columbian Exposition held in Chicago to commemorate the 1893 Columbian Exposition Half 400th anniversary of Columbus’ landing in the ‘New World’. Nearly two Dollar Reverse million Columbian Halves were struck in 1892 and 1893. Many of these were bought as prized keepsakes of their attendance at this once in a lifetime event. The success of this first issue paved the way for more commemorative coins to be issued; again in conjunction with Expositions. These included the Lafayette Dollar (Paris Exposition, 1900), the Jefferson, McKinley, and Lewis & Clark Gold Dollars (Louisiana Purchase Exposition, 1904), and the Panama-Pacific Exposition coinage of 1915. These first few issues proved to be popular enough with collectors that other organi- zations became interested in the issuance of a commemorative coin for their special occasion. Organizing committees for special events would lobby for the passage of an authorizing bill that would allow them to distribute a Mint-Issued, Legal Tender Coin and keep the proceeds in excess of the coin’s cost to help pay for the cost of their event or project.
