Lot 3255
1938-D Oregon Trail Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-68. Utterly superb and lovely tab toning. The reverse shows nice original rainbow color. Unrivaled in terms of exterior preservation, both sides are well frosted and for all intents and purposes perfect with their silvery centers and tab toning at the edge as well as the center. Curiously, it is the protecting cardboard shape of the holder the keeps the silvery color intact on the obverse. Air reacting with the metal in the exposed areas outside the confines of the cardboard causes the edges and central area (where there is a hole in the cardboard) to tone this way. As for the reverse, well, words simply fail us when attempting to describe the wide variety of colors. The reverse is a veritable kaleidoscope of hues! Pop 20; 13 in 68 Star.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.
