My favorite design among the commemorative coins, I wish modern coin artists have better sense on design concepts.

I like a lot of the modern commems, but just in general I agree. The old coins put most of the new ones to shame |

Go get em David! That's a real beauty!  I had considered building an Oregon subset as I had mentioned earlier, but I'm stuck in the ASE and Modern Commem quest at the moment. Keep us drooling! PG |

Stunning coin, David. This is also one of my favorite designs and I thoroughly enjoy my single XF example.  Good luck on the journey and keep the progress reports coming. There are a few posters on this forum that never fail to "wow" me with their new acquisitions, and you are certainly one of them. |

67+! Wow!
Do you have a recommendation as a good year (or years) for someone looking for a type example, in terms of strike, availability, etc.?

Captain I've seen a lot of reasonably priced 38-Ds for this set in the past. The 37 seems to be pretty common too

Thanks to all for the kind comments ... your words are much appreciated. A few replies if I may ... Quote:
I thoroughly enjoy my single XF example. Excellent ... but I suggest that you should not be too concerned about freeing it from the plastic for inclusion in your fabulous 7070. Quote:
Do you have a recommendation as a good year (or years) for someone looking for a type example As a general statement the Oregon Trail series of 14 coins were well preserved by the collectors of the day ... and we of modern times thank them for their diligence in saving these coins. Well struck coins can be found from any of the dates ... but as a type collector I would focus my efforts on the first year of issue ... 1926 ... where the Philadelphia and San Francisco mints produced between them 131,050 coins ... Compare this 1926 mintage to the total net distribution of the entire 14 coin series ... 203,142 coins ... and you will find the best type opportunities for the money in 1926 dated coins. David |
