chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 06/10/2018 06:25 am Found this ebay listing and the obverse of this coin looks really weird. I can't describe it. Here's the link to it: https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/332678842530 Appears to be a bad link. Tried to repost twice. Might just be my phone. Here's a picture of the obverse: Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Edited by chafemasterj 06/10/2018 06:31 am Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 06/10/2018 10:40 am I hadn't considered an acid dip. I've decided I would like this commemorative in my 7070. The lower, circulated grades, seem to be a little hard to come by (at least on ebay). Let the patience game begin.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 06/10/2018 10:45 am They did not circulate extensively when new (although they did circulate) and as a result circulated examples below XF can be considerably more difficult to locate than MS examples!! Fortunately, the Oregon coins were issued over a number of years, making the task a little easier than for commems which were one-year-only.
