My first classic commem.

I really like the OR commem. Great design. very satiny luster on it. I never realized that there are little tiny wagons along the trail.

You have good taste, that's one of the nicest designs, and it's a beauty.

Oregon is the BEST commem design. I also really like the Spanish Trail (longhorn).

Nice coin! Going for a set of them?

No real plans for set building. Like colonials, I'll probably just dabble. They're higher relief than I thought they would be.

mrearlygold · June 28, 2004 5:21AM

Well, a nice one just the same.

Mark,

VERY nice !!! I've longed for one of the Oregon Commem's but haven't come across one i could afford

That one is beeeeeauuuuutiful !!!

Great Commemorative. And with that particular date, only 6006 were ever minted. That's pretty cool.

RBB617 · June 28, 2004 5:35AM

That is a beauty. If I remember correctly the mintage was pretty low in 1938.

Oops, I took too long to post my response. Clankeye beat me to the mintage punch.

I'll just agree with everyone else - it's my favorite design also, and yours
looks great!

This thread is 100% Excellent.

Very nice oregon. Welcome to the club.

Mark · June 28, 2004 7:49AM

That's a very pretty example of a very pretty design!

mgoodm3, now that you have one classic commemorative, which classic commemorative do you think you'll be looking at buying next? I know you say you'll just dabble, but dabbling really seems to imply acquiring more than one...

I like columbian halves. That would be the next one I would get. Maybe Pan-Pac half.

Gorgeous coin and AWESOME picture.

That's a very pretty coin you have! An Oregon Trail Half is the coin that got me started collecting classic commemoratives. Be careful - you can't stop with just one - they are addicting!!

SDCollector · June 28, 2004 11:17AM

Wow. Beautiful coin and an excellent date. Here's mine with it's neighbors. Not nearly as nice as yours.

Excellent photo of a wonderful coin. Congratulations.

My first classic commem.
