This is a coin I don't have yet ...

And really like the looks of that one.

One like that would look just right in my album.

Just arrived today! As expected, super nice with some beautiful gold toning in hand.

Could you guys give me your thoughts as to a grade? I'm thinking high AU vs. low MS but I'm not super confident as to my grading skills for classic commemoratives.

...grading skills for classic commemoratives.


Try this out for starters:

1926-S-Oregon-Trail-Half-Dollar

These grading photos of the high points for this coin came from:

http://tryongold.com/commemgrade2.php

and include tips for US commemorative coins from the 1892 Columbian to the 1954 Carver-Washington half.

Hope this helps.
