Just how difficult is it to find an Oregon Trail Commem in nice circulated condition?

I'd love to find one raw in nice problem free condition but every show I attend They're all slabbed,real beautys I might add but for now I'll settle for one circulated.

That's my fav commem. I been thinking of getting one. I don't see much around under 64, at least where I look.

I looked for one at the Grapevine show myself. I found one that looked really nice for $80 - problem is we decided it looked "too nice" and was probably cleaned. It lacked any color at all. Let me know if you find a couple - I want one too! - I am looking for a nice AU or MS-60 UNslabbed.

That's just it, they"re all slabbed.The Red Book has them listed For as much as $450.00 in MS65.for the 33-D.

Buy a low grade slabbed MS coin, crack it and carry it as a pocket piece until it reaches the degree of circulation you are looking for!

I don't think commems commonly circulated. I'd bet you could find one that wasn't stored well and has many hits.

The Oregon is my favorite. I want a lustrous one with reddish rim toning. That way they will really be moving that canestoga wagon into the sunset. Kinda like the one in ClausUrch's sig.

I used to see them all the time and they were fairly cheap. That's probably the problem. Can't make big money on them in the slabbing game, in fact they aren't worth slabbing if they are circulated so they don't get brought to shows because "It's the slabbed material people want."

I see circulated commemoratives down here at Florida shows. The trouble is they are usually marked "Unc." and overpriced, or they are in "third world slab company" holders and marked "MS-something."
