Incredible
26-S Oregon Trail Half dollar in Gem MS-67 ! Every once
in a while we get a chance to see near perfection in
coin form and this Oregon sure looks near that level
of perfection. The Oregon Trail has been considered
the most beautiful coinage designs by many collectors,
certainly has captured the number one position in classic
commemorative half dollar designs and this one is not
only MS-67, but judging by the boldness of strike, underlying
luster, absence of imperfections one might consider
this specimen even finer than what the holder claims.
Now take a closer look, enlarge the image and take a
gander at that color! This Oregon, with gentle and even
not so gentle strokes of lavender, violets and other
pastel shades which cascade into a center of golden
hues, one has to wonder how many specimens could actually
compare with this one and we think we could find it
difficult to count on one hand how many we’ve
seen over the decades of this date that compare. Truly
a work of art in silver coin form.
