nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15566 Posts	Posted 01/13/2012 6:46 pm Nice MS pickup ... I'm guessing MS63 based on the photos. Your photos tend to show 'bright' surfaces ... perhaps some settings to be adjusted? Regardless ... the photo shows a well preserved lovely coin ... and well done I say in your classic silver selections. Now ... show us a photo of them lined up in your 7070!

barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5870 Posts	Posted 01/14/2012 07:15 am All right, can somebody please explain why the Oregon Trail commemorative was made for so many different years (1926, 28, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, 39)? Also, is this a good price for a 1926-S version? This one looks like it might have been polished/dipped (harshly?), but I'm not sure...

muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7201 Posts	Posted 01/14/2012 10:10 am The Oregon trail half was authorised by congress to not exceed more than six million pieces and did not specify date or mint. there was lots of shady deals done by the distributors and congress halted any further issuance in 1939 with a total of distributed coins at 203,102. Without this halt to the longest running commemorative series we may still be producing them today as there were still 5,796,898 still allowable to produce from the original approval of 1926. As for the ebay item it does look a little bright for an AU coin. Recently there was a 1933 d that was "wiped" sell for $150 that was of superior appearance (and significantly less minted) than the one you are watching. There are lots of the 1926 and 1926 s out there, take your time and find one that has a natural look you should not pay more than $125 for an ungraded specimen. Report this Post to the Staff

barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5870 Posts	Posted 01/24/2012 12:05 pm Well, thanks to the magic of the new CCF Want List form and forum member nickelsearcher, I am now in possession of a beautifully toned 1926 Oregon Trail Commemorative Half Dollar! This completes the quest for the four commemoratives I needed for 7070 set, as can be seen here. Thanks for all the help, everybody!

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 01/24/2012 12:37 pm That's a nice looking Oregon Trail. I'm looking for one of these also. There's someone on the bay with 6 circulated 1926-S. They look kind of funny to me though. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15566 Posts	Posted 01/24/2012 7:33 pm Hooray ... you have it! Great photos BTW Barry ... you have managed to capture the copper/gold toning on this coin that eluded me. Well done indeed. The photos of your 7070 are amazing ... not just the coins ... which are spectacular ... but the way you put the photos together. Your four commemorative slots now tell a great story of USA history ... Discovery (Columbian) ... Pilgrimage (Pilgrim) ... Independence (Lexington) and Expansion (Oregon Trail). Excellent selections, well chosen and a set to be proud of forever. Pleased that I could offer some support. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
LowBall Commem New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 01/24/2012 7:45 pm Very Nice Oregon, Barry G. The Oregon Trail is my favorite commem. Both the obverse and reverse contain balance and show emotional scenes with the utmost respect. The Frasers were amazing designers. Dave 700x I did see the 6 Oregon's early today on ebay and they definitely were cast counterfeits. The edge of the coin showed a seam and details in the rays were missing.
