    Isn't that the $69K coin?

    Actually, I just checked, it's not the same one that sold for $69K from Superior's Auction last year. That coin was a 1926 Oregon PGCS 67.

    Very beautiful coin. Any predictions what it will bring at auction?

    The 1926 coin looks much better.

    Now that's funny.

    That is a very attractive coin, though.

    That is an awsome coin. I bet it brings way more than the estimate of $10,000-$15,000.

    I wish monsterman would chime in. Well, I haven't seen this coin in person, but I have seen MS68's 60k Oregon and that is a TOUGH coin to beat. Now, the most important questionimage, would it cross?

    Any guess as to how that coin was stored to get those colors?

    Call me crazy, but I prefer the toning on the 33. Looks like the 26 might have a lot more luster though.

    I agree I prefer the 1933 coin.....

    Hate to say this, but even though I find that coin incredibly attractive, it screams AT to me. The toning is just a little too concentric and perfect, and it's strange that there's a spot of deep color in the center surrounded by an untoned ring. The colors should progress inwards, and the center should be untoned. I doubt it's the result of a tab holder, since there isn't a bar of color going all the way across either.
  • 7summits7summits Posts: 316 ✭✭
    If you believe the auction listing, the toning is the result of long term storage in a Wayte Raymond album.

    I LOVE THIS COIN! Wish I had the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ image

    I love the Oregon Commem. My ideal Oregon would have toning on the reverse like this '33 does on the reverse. However mine would have the max crescent at 9: O'clock rather than 2: O'clock. I want to see that Wagon going west into the sunset....

    The reverse luster on that 68* seems a tad dullish, but it could be the photo angle. Attractive coin to say the least. I'm not qualified to say if the art of AT is to that high a level yet.

    image I agree that the 33 is a better looking coin. Really don't feel it's AT. It's just "Awesome"!
  • michaelmichael Posts: 9,524 ✭✭✭
    well for me a commem coin from the 1930's with great toning and many are in gem and superb gem condition maybe not as greatly toned but still many in gem and superb gem condition and there is a value added thing in the holder as it could just go ms 67

    and this coin had better have monster killer lustre booming out from underneath the toning and the highest point of the coin on the reverse is at the rim at 2 pm ----the tip of the conesta wagon

    this had better have no marks or hits at all on this area of the coin

    also the side of the wagon had better not have any hits at all on it and the same with the indian on the obverse the indians knees and outdtretched hand had better be clean of all hits

    and if not as per the above then it is not an ms68

    and even if so i think there are many better value opportunity coins in coindom
