Skyman-

 

The '26-S might be the highest mintage of the series if I remember right. I think there was something like 80k of them distributed.

 

They are readily availble. I was trying to find "any" Oregon" with toning that matched my other early commems.

 

So because of the high mintage and the sellers poor pics on ebay, I actually bought the coin at a pretty low price for what it is.

 

Thanks,

Sweet! :golfclap: No doubt about it, the Oregon is one of the prettiest coins ever produced by the Mint.

Are these PL Irvin. The pics make them look that way. The first I'd say is MS62PL and the second MS63 (Rev PL) I like them both!

I tell ya what Irvin, that PCGS sure looks like it was close to a PL to me. from the pics, looks like it has a decent cameo to it.

This one just arrived today. It's probably an average strike for the year but I think it has very nice luster and better than average eye appeal.

Just arrived today. 1854 was tough for me to find in acceptable condition, mildly frustrating but with this addition I know it was worth the wait. Some fun clashing on the reverse, couple neat die cracks on the obverse, doubling on both sides and a strike to die for.

 

The white looking smudges in the pic are from the scratched up slab...

Also posted across the street. these are the 3 coins I piced up at the SD show yesterday. The last 2 photos don't do the coin justice as the fields need to be moved in the light to appreciate.

 

I went with one goal to get a nice and affordable barber in 25, 50 or $1 denomination. I accomplished this goal within 15 minutes. thats' good since I didn't seen anything else I liked the rest of the day. I'm always on the lookout for early copper but didn't see anything that tripped my trigger. One guy from NV wouldn't let me take a photo so I could attribute it at home. I said "guess i won't be calling you to buy it then"...he seemed a little sheepish...

 

Here's the barber:

Next I found an interesting and inexpensive half. Not a key date or anything rare but a late die state that I liked. the obv has a channel in the field in front of her nose that's hard to see w/o tilting in the light. I thought at first it was a die bulge but now I think it's a polished out clash. The coin is much darker than the photos show. I need to work on my lighting.

Then I found two more coins that I liked, a MO commem 2x4 in NGC 64 with nice original surfaces. I thought the grade was perhaps a little loose--certainly not PQ for the grade. The price was right for a 64 and I might have been tempted if it was PQ. I liked the luster and the light golden toning. But it had what looked like a large rim ding at 1 o'clock. The seller said "that's a planchet flaw". On closer look I agreed. I had DennisH look and he agreed. But it was still a distraction and the deciding point to pass on this coin. But walking back and forth between Coxe's table and the MO commem a proof coin kept distracting me in a much more positive way. DennisH liked it too. It is now the lowest mintage coin I own at 590. It's the only one of these NEWPs that's holdered. It's in a PCGS holder.

Not a bad morning considering I had to leave at 1 to play in a golf tournament with my son. The Father Son team we were paired with was rolling in every put they stood over including 3 for 30' plus. I think they could have just closed thier eyse so we got second. --Jerry
