I picked up a raw Oregon Trail Comm today at the coin show. This baby has great eye appeal and blistering white luster. I'd like to get your opinion on grade. Thanks in advance.

You have a shot at 65, but I think 64. Maybe even a +.

That is a very nice example of a great design.

Congrats.

I'd say MS64 due to the scratch and what looks like a few Reed Marks on the leg but could go MS65 depending on who was grading it.

Lovely coin indeed.

Impossible to grade any coin by photograph - but your is lovely.

Concur IMHO with the prior views of MS ... the circular bag hit on the Chief (left facing) abdomen will likely conscribe to keep this otherwise excellent example at MS64.

That said ... I can as well see this in a PGG MS65 holder.

Thanks for sharing

I love the look of that coin.

MS something, but a real beauty regardless the grade.

I think that maybe he meant PCGS and spelled it wrong?

I think MS-65 is not out of the question.

I think MS64... that minor distraction on the right leg. That said it seems these coins always take a bit of a beating in the same spot on the right leg some worse than others.
