1937-D Oregon Half Dollar MS-67 NGC
Struck at the Denver Mint in 1937, this silver half dollar belongs to a celebrated commemorative series honoring the pioneers of the Oregon Trail. With a limited production of only 12,000 pieces, this specific coin has survived in an extraordinary state of preservation, certified by professional graders at Mint State 67. The obverse, designed by Laura Fraser, features a powerful depiction of a Native American figure standing tall against the backdrop of a United States map. Legible inscriptions on this side include the issuing nation, the half dollar denomination, and the traditional motto "IN GOD WE TRUST." On the reverse, designed by James Earle Fraser, an ox-drawn covered wagon journeys westward toward a setting sun. This side bears the inscription "OREGON TRAIL MEMORIAL" alongside the 1937 year of issue. Struck in 90 percent silver, this coin contains approximately 0.3617 troy ounces of precious metal, serving as a beautiful fusion of American history and numismatic artistry.
