Here's my latest upgrade for my complete silver classic commemorative set, a PCGS MS67 1933-D Oregon Trail half dollar. This replaces the NGC MS64 that was the former occupant of that slot in my collection.

Thanks, Dearborn! This coin really grabbed my attention when I saw it. I'm very picky about my commemoratives, but this one was an easy decision...

I can see by the quality that it was very easy. But I think that PCGS put the reverse on your slab on the front. https://www.usmint.gov/coins/coin-m...emorial-halfHere is mine: (with a tiny bit of gunk or something on the bottom of the Obverse) I'm thinking of acetone soak to soften it of maybe verdi-care to the area.

That Oregon Trail half is great, Dearborn! I'd try the acetone soak, as you mentioned, for that bit of gunk, but it doesn't really take away from the overall appearance. Quote: But I think that PCGS put the reverse on your slab on the front.  Yes, out of my 14 coin set, comprised of both NGC and PCGS slabbed coins, only one is displayed correctly - my PCGS 1938 example. As you know, the Oregon Trail commemorative isn't the only one typically holdered with the reverse on the front of the holder - the Arkansas, Robinson, Connecticut, Iowa, Hudson, Wisconsin, York, and Albany are also generally displayed with the reverses on front...

Thanks Hoki - And I'll try the acetone soak first. Quote: As you know, the Oregon Trail commemorative isn't the only one typically holdered with the reverse on the front of the holder - the Arkansas, Robinson, Connecticut, Iowa, Hudson, Wisconsin, York, and Albany are also generally displayed with the reverses on front... I did not know that they did it with the lot of them. Did PCGS think that the reverse was better looking , or just didn't know the difference - which is possible, as many don't know which is which sometimes..
