Talk:List of United States commemorative coins and medals before 1900

1848-Cal not "non-circulating"

I don't doubt that some may have been put aside, but as I recall the CAL coins were paid out by the Mint in the normal course of business. The Red Book lists it under regular issues. Do we really want to list it as a commemorative?--Wehwalt (talk) 10:25, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

Wehwalt According to NGC, the coin was originally sold to numismatists, but due to a lack of interest, the coins were placed into circulation. The coin is a commemorative, whether we list it as "non-circulating" or "circulating", as it commemorated the California Gold Rush.

I'm good with either classification, as it is a variety of a circulating coin. I have listed other non-circulating commemorative varieties of circulating coins as "circulating" (e.i. the 2019-W penny, which commemorates the 110th anniversary of the Lincoln cent, and the 50th anniversary Kennedy half dollars). - ZLEA _T\^C 12:35, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

I listed the coin as a "circulating coin" because it is a commemorative variety of a circulation coin. - ZLEA _T\^C 12:08, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

List of United States commemorative coins and medals (1800s) → List of United States commemorative coins and medals before 1900 – The coins of the 20th century are segregated by decade; this is from 1848 to 1899, NOT 1800 to 1809.

• Support - Being the one that created these articles, this one's title never did sit right with me. - ZLEA _T\^C 13:34, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose per WP:CONSISTENT with List of United States commemorative coins and medals (1900s) and List of United States commemorative coins and medals (2000s). I also don't see how it matters that the coins are from 1848. Is that year not in the 1800s? --Gonnym (talk) 22:41, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Gonnym Those two articles you mentioned cover only decades ("1900s" meaning 1900–1909, "2000s" meaning 2000–2009). This article covers all coins that came before the year 1900. - ZLEA _T\^C 22:45, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Not sure how I missed that. Striking my oppose. --Gonnym (talk) 22:46, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

• Move to List of pre-1900 United States commemorative coins and medals. Rreagan007 (talk) 18:31, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
• Support per nom. (The alternative just above is okay too, but less consistent with the other articles in the series.) Station1 (talk) 00:29, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
