This particular example features an incredibly deep, dark surface patina across both the obverse and reverse. It is perfect for collectors who favor original, uncleaned coins with a heavily weathered, historic look. Features Edward Everett Burr’s unique conjoined obverse portraits of a Native American chief and a classic Liberty, paired with a powerful spread-winged eagle resting over the Arkansas state emblem on the reverse. The coin is securely housed in its scratch-resistant PCGS slab and will be packed with extreme care. Please review the high-resolution photos closely to evaluate the precise look of the dark toning before purchasing. The coin pictured is the exact item you will receive.

He stands before a map of the United States with the Oregon Trail marked, with his left hand outstretched to the east and a bow in his right hand spanning the continent. United States of America? The maximum authorized mintage for the program was set at a lofty 6 million pieces, which was the largest authorization for commemorative coin thus far. Since the law authorizing the coins did not include a specific time frame or mint, the Association requested more coins struck in subsequent years and from different mints. Additional coins would be minted in 1928, 1933, 1934, 1936, 1937, 1938, and 1939, variously at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints. All coins remain relatively accessible for collectors of today, despite some lower mintages. Some issues are available in exceptionally high grades at relatively affordable prices.
