1938-D 50C Oregon, MS

Description

1938-D 50¢ Oregon Commemorative, MS67 NGC. This exceptional example of the 1938-D Oregon Commemorative half dollar represents one of the most sought-after issues in American commemorative coinage. Struck at the Denver Mint, this piece exhibits the superior luster and eye appeal characteristic of premium Mint State examples from this iconic series. The Oregon Commemorative series, issued to celebrate the migration of settlers along the Oregon Trail, remains a cornerstone of commemorative collecting. The 1938-D represents a key date within the series, with relatively modest mintages compared to certain other years. This MS67 designation from NGC reflects exceptional preservation with only minor contact marks visible under magnification, maintaining full original mint brilliance and striking detail throughout both obverse and reverse. The obverse features a Native American profile, while the reverse depicts a covered wagon traversing the Oregon Trail landscape. Both sides exhibit crisp, well-defined imagery with excellent eye appeal. For the serious commemorative collector, this piece represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a high-grade example of this historically significant issue. NGC Certificate #8663261001
