1926 S Half Dollar Oregon

Nice looking coin, certainly could be a ms65, would need pics with luster to be certain. Almost all of the early (1892-1954) commemoratives are very neat coin designs with low mintages, would love to complete the "type set" at some point.

I agree with Commens - I'll guess there is plenty of luster but the lighting angle is hiding. Nice strong strike and details.

Lovely example, certainly mid-MS minimum.




I'm not clear on what you mean by the term 'regular strike'. In 1926 this coin was produced at both the Philadelphia and San Francisco mints with all coins struck as business strike examples.

To the best of my knowledge there were no plans or efforts to produce 'special strike' examples.

Your well struck example is a result of a coin produced on a fresh(er) set of dies on a well adjusted coining press.

@nickelsearcher

i meant between P and S variant, not rarity more general appearance

Thanks for sharing Moniker,

I see wear on the coin as mentioned, Small circulation nicks, dings, etc.

Hands on the bow are an indication of that high spot taking wear Among the First high areas on the coin's surface to Show or Indicate Wear. See more worn examples...

The rim has hits as are Also an indication of Circulation.

The strike is a Strong one, Although Far Too Many , Non Original distractions on an Awesome design.

Luster is Another ? Whats up There..... Dipped prior

Just not an MS-65, .......In My Opinion

Very nice!
