Two new coins for my collection

[goldencoin]

Hello, I recently got interested in early commemorative coins and have started adding to my collection. I haven't bought U.S. coins above face in ages as I had a pretty complete type collection. However, these commemoratives have caught my eye and I've started filling in the gap in my collection. First is the 1893 Isabella Quarter, close cousin of the Colombian half dollar, and the second is the 1920 Pilgrim Tercentenary.

Nice coins! I like the silver half dollar commemoratives myself. Congratulations.

I love commemoratives, they are some the most beautiful coins the US ever made.

Ballpark what you paid for the Isabella, if you don't mind. That is one I still don't have for my collection.

I paid $450 for the pair, he was asking $493. That translates to about $387 for the quarter alone. Pretty hard to get them below $400, but this guy was a small dealer and probably didn't have too many customers asking for unique coins.
