Dearborn Moderator United States 94672 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 07:19 am I'm looking to buy this commemorative coin But I'm not that familiar with these The first link is the one I want, but Have a look at the rim at K-12 to K-1, and again at K-6. On the reverse side (the side showing the Indian figure) https://www.ebay.com/itm/133951824280 it almost looks like an after market cast coin. Is this authentic? Compare it to this other coin in the same areas: ~~https://www.ebay.com/itm/133951824280~~ https://www.ebay.com/itm/133966215781 Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94672 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 07:54 am probably, but the prices are not far off the mark according to this site for the 1926 and 1926-S with such a low mintage: https://coinscatalog.net/usa/coin-s...rative-coins But, that being said, that was not my question. ..EDIT: my intention is to place a coin like this into my 7070 album and I don't want to have to crack one out for that purpose.

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12251 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 08:00 am I would stay clear of the coin. Its appears to have lots of hairline scratches and multiple questionable areas. You can easily do better, there are plenty of Oregon Trail half dollars out there - no need to rush into anything!

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 09:34 am You should be able to get that coin slabbed (PCGS or NGC) in MS-63 or (maybe) MS-64 for the same price. And an ANACS slab would probably be okay too. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5661 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 10:25 am The coin in your first link looks authentic, but possibly cleaned. There is some rim finning in the areas you describe, but nothing suspicious. Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2001 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 1:52 pm Would be great if you could find a 1928 issue. I was told that Six million were authorized but only 50,000 were struck. Then 44,000 were melted leaving a survival population of only 6,000. Report this Post to the Staff
chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 2:49 pm I love that coin. One of my favorites. I purchased a slabbed one for my 7070 and cracked it out. Lol. Send a slabbed one to me and I'll crack it out for you. Not sure what it is but I love cracking graded coins for albums. Though I must confess that I haven't built up the gumption to crack my 1909-S VDB out of its plastic tomb yet.

Not sure what it is but I love cracking graded coins for albums Gee, thanks chafemasterj. I have cracked out many coins for my albums, but I put a value level at which I hesitate to crack out coins (around $150.00). But I have been known to crack out more expensive ones, just don't like to. However if the only way to get a nice coin is by getting it in the slab, I may just do that. Collecting since 1972.

I was told that Six million were authorized but only 50,000 were struck. Then 44,000 were melted leaving a survival population of only 6,000. A couple of things: 1. A total of six million half dollars were authorized for the entire Oregon Trail Memorial Half Dollar program; no specific mintage numbers were set for any individual year. 2.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15386 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 7:02 pm Kudos to commems for bringing facts to this wide ranging discussion. The latest 'information' presented on the 1928 issue is not historically correct. @Dearborn - take your time to find a pleasing example. These are readily available in today's coin market in lovely condition at prices comparable to the ebay examples you posted. Best of wishes - and I hope to see your new coin soon.
