1939 Arkansas Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66 PQ. CAC Approved. Only 2,104 minted. Lovely light toning on both sides, the surface purest satiny silver. Struck to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the admission of Arkansas to the Union, June 15, 1836. Two Art Deco heads are Liberty and (evidently) a Quapaw Indian, the tribe that inhabited what would become the Territory of Arkansaw. Edward Everett Burr designed the piece along with the help of several others. Sets of three, one from each mint, were sold in 1935-39 at ever-escalating prices. There was active speculation in the issue at the time, along with the other P-D-S commemorative sets struck during the 1930s. Pop 38; 8 finer, 6 in 66+, 2 in 67 (PCGS # 9249) . Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,200. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots

1939-P,D,S Oregon Trail Half Dollar Set. PCGS graded MS-66. CAC Approved. Mintage: 1939-P, 3,004 pieces; 1939-D, 3,004 pieces; 1939-S, 3,005 pieces. A satiny Gem matched set. This is the key Oregon Set. Designs are by Laura Gardin Fraser. Many believe the Oregon Trail is one of the finest designs ever conceived for our early commemorative issues. On the obverse, the artist depicts an Indian with blanket and bow, his gesture seeming to warn any westbound travelers "So far and no further." (But more likely being a sign of peace, as in "How!" We can thank Hollywood movies for the imagery.) On the reverse has been recreated a Conestoga wagon heading into the sunset. Oregons were struck sporadically from 1926 to 1939 at the various mints with mintage declining by 1938 and 1939. These last two sets have extremely low mintage. Lot of 3 coins.
Bit of trivia: If you want to upset an Oregander, pronounce his state’s name "or-e-gon" to rhyme with polygon. If you do, he’ll fume smoke out both nostrils. If you say it again, he’ll more than likely lob a pinecone at your head. Instead, say "or-a-gun." Emphasize the "or." You’ll be invited in. Estimated Value $1,800 - 1,900.

1939-S Oregon Trail Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-67. Superb, frosty and mainly silver-white. By far the most visually fascinating feature of this coin is its satin-soft, frosted mint bloom. Full cascading luster on both sides, in fact. No one can refute the vibrancy of the surfaces here. This Oregon shows itself well in the fully struck devices where all the finer detail including the high points where the dies gave a full impact. Pop 96; 12 finer, 4 in 67+, 7 in 68, 1 in 68+ (PCGS # 9354) . Estimated Value $1,250 - 1,300. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots
