1934-D Oregon Trail 50c PCGS MS65
Designs for this issue are by Laura Gardin Fraser. Many agree the Oregon Trail is one of the finest designs ever conceived for a commemorative issue. On the obverse, the artist depicted an Indian or Native American with blanket and bow, his gesture seeming to warn any westbound travelers "So far and no further" (but more likely being a show of peace, as in "How!") 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. Several issues have extremely low mintage, the 1934-D about mid-rarity with 7,000 pieces sold. (#9344)
