# 621 - Oregon Trail
Today I will start a small series of American commemoratives that are not in my main collection because I have others in higher grade.
Each $.50 coin weights 12.5g and have a 90% silver purity.
The first is a 1926 $.50 Oregon Trail graded MS-66 by NGC.
The Oregon Trail Memorial half-dollar was struck intermittently by the US Mint between 1926 and 1939. The coin was designed by Laura Gardin Fraser and James Earle Fraser, and commemorates those who traveled the Oregon Trail and settled the Pacific Coast of the United States in the mid-19th century.
The Indian side, designed by Laura Fraser, features a dramatically rendered Native American, standing erect with outstretched arm in what is described as a gesture of peace or as if warning the people of the East of the perils and hardship of the Trail. The Native American wears a headdress, has a blanket and bow, and is superimposed on a map of the United States, with a line of Conestoga wagons heading west.
The wagon side designed by James Fraser depicts a Conestoga wagon drawn by two oxen, heading into an extremely large setting sun, with resplendent rays. The designers’ initials appear behind the wagon and five stars appear below the vehicle. They represent the five states and territories through which pioneers would have passed.
