    Lee, if you are not going to put any more effort into these types of threads than this would you please quit!

    Fantastic post Lee !

    It's a little disappointing to see the lack of replies, but for my little part I want you to know how much I appreciate the effort it took.

    Unfortunately...... I don't have a coin to add to the post. I've been on an active hunt for over a year and just haven't landed one that will match up well with the rest of my set.

    Hopefully one day that will change.

    Thanks again.

    Thanks Lee. Here is my example. IMO, the Oregon Trail is one of the bets looking early commems:

    Yep. The TPGs are hardly the first numismatic entity to just keep throwing one new product after another to collectors, who, by their OCD "gotta have all of 'em" nature, eat it up.

    With so many produced, I am surprised they are worth as much as I see asked.

    Next in order we have the 1933D. A fairly common doubling is seen on much of the obverse lettering.

    My son and I are working on hisschool project related to the Oregon trail. We decided to take a numismatic approach, and this thread really helped a lot.
