1939-S Oregon Commemorative Half Dollar (50c)

The 1939-S Oregon Trail Memorial Half Dollar represents the final year of this long-running commemorative series, which began in 1926. The San Francisco Mint struck just 3,004 pieces, making it one of the lowest mintage issues in the series and a key date for specialists.

This superb MS67+ example ranks among the finest known survivors. The surfaces are virtually pristine, displaying intense cartwheel luster that radiates across both sides. The strike is remarkably sharp, bringing out every detail of the covered wagon and the figure on the obverse. A light silver-white patina enhances the exceptional eye appeal, and the fields are remarkably clean for such a high grade. The plus designation is well-deserved, as this coin sits right on the cusp of MS68.
