1937-D Oregon Commemorative Half Dollar (50c)

The 1937-D Oregon Trail Memorial Half Dollar represents the final year of this popular commemorative series, which began in 1926. While the Denver Mint struck 12,008 coins in 1937, finding superb examples like this MS67 CAC has become increasingly challenging as most were poorly handled or improperly stored over the decades.

This magnificent specimen showcases blazing cartwheel luster that radiates across pristine silver-white surfaces. The strike is exceptional, with every detail of the covered wagon and the standing figure rendered in bold relief. Under magnification, the fields are remarkably clean with virtually no distracting marks or imperfections. The eye appeal is extraordinary, with the CAC sticker confirming this coin's position at the upper echelon of the grade. The natural, untoned surfaces perfectly highlight the artistic merit of this classic commemorative design.
