From a North American Nickel set I picked up. Set has 5 coins but these 3 are the reason I got it. At some point I'll crack it open and give the Shield nickel a very long acetone soak to try to improve it.

Nice set, Seeker! Don't be too vigorous with that Shield nickel - I don't think that acetone will do much for it, and the cameo is actually attractive.

Thanks! The set was a $10 pick up. The other 2 coins were a 1973 Canadian and a average circulation Liberty (V) nickel.

Here's a trio of classic-era US commemorative coins that were designed by noted artist/sculptor Chester Beach:

1923 Monroe Doctrine Centennial Half Dollar


1925 Battle of Lexington-Concord Sesquicentennial Half Dollar


(Note: The coin's obverse design is based on the 1875 statue by Daniel Chester French.)

1935 Hudson, NY Sesquicentennial Half Dollar



As a bonus, here's the 1928 Hawaiian Discovery (European) Sesquicentennial Half Dollar; Beach wasn't the coin's designer but he created the models for it. He developed the designs of Juliette May Fraser for coining.

1928 Hawaiian Discovery (European) Sesquicentennial Half Dollar
