Is there much of a following for Oregon trail coin collecting? I'm just curious, saw it in another thread and did not want to hi-jack thread. My only dealer in town was talking the other day about a coin someone had brought it. Said they don't want them as they can't find a market for them in our area. I thought they were nice looking coins but was the only time I had heard of them. Are they new/old/silver, etc? What's the skinny?

The Oregon Trail Memorial half dollar is a beautiful and often collected commemorative. They were minted different dates in the 1920s and 1930s. They are 90% silver.

Guess I will have to check them out. I'll be back in town in a couple days, I will stop and take a gander at it. Hope there are not an expensive coin.... the morgans have put a whooping on the budget for now.
I take it I must be careful on grades and cleaning on those too?

Study photos of genuine coins before you go look at it.

In my opinion, it is among the top classic commemoratives. I would like to own one in the near future.
