Friend's Find.......

Hey gang....I hope all of you are doing well and pulling some goodies. I have had my nose buried in books......back to school ya know, so I haven't had the opportunity to do any hunting. I miss the hunt but school is more important at the moment.

Anyway, I got a friend involved in CRH'ing a few months back and this is what my friend pulled from some customer rolls....not a Fed box. The mintage is extremely low on this commemorative. It is in great shape too. A very nice find indeed!!! It is a 1939-S.

Mints
The Oregon Trail Commemorative Half Dollar was minted in Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco. The 1933 issue marked the first striking of a US commemorative at the Denver Mint. The mint mark for the Denver (D) and San Francisco (S) issues appears on the reverse (back) to the right of the F in HALF. The Philadelphia issues do not have a mint mark.

There was a total of 203,102 coins minted. Philadelphia minted 72,999 coins, Denver minted 33,031, and San Francisco minted 97,092. All of the strikes tend to be good, with the exception of the 1926 Philadelphia issue which usually shows a noticeable lack of detail in the Indian's hand.

Date Mint Mark Mint Mintage
1926 None Philadelphia 47,955
1926 S San Francisco 83,055
1928 None Philadelphia 6,028
1933 D Denver 5,008
1934 D Denver 7,006
