I’d say a 65 or a 66.

66, but that’s purely a guess based on strike and surface quality. I’d need a better read on the luster to be sure.

 

MS-65

 

MS-66, I could see 67 on a good day

 

I see a nicely toned example. Just don't see much luster in the photos. 65

 

MS 64 to 65. Toning is not attractive, so I would lean low.

How about a "new twist" to the GTG game, @BlackberryPie ? Below is an Oregon Trail that I used to own. How would you compare this to the one you posted?

66. I sent one in to a few months ago to PCGS and was disappointed to find that I had overgraded my coin, by several points. Wishful thinking. This coin IS better than mine.

MS-67 on the original post

 

I would call that a 65. Above I said 66 and maybe 67 on a good day for the op's coin. The OP's coin has better toning and may have gotten a bump for eye appeal, and it has a very clean leg with very few abrasion marks. Around the thigh of your coin there are some contact marks.

While some may find the OP's coin's toning unattractive, more extreme natural toning is generally viewed as a positive for classic commems by TPGs.

 

I'm not selling

 

I'm not that good at grading but just a quick glance I see a ding on the bow of yours vs no ding on the bow of mine.

 

Looks 65 or 66 to me, but if I sent it in I'd get back a 58.

 

I like yours better. I'd say yours is 66+ or maybe a 67.

Also, to everyone else looking at this coin: this is the first year of issue. The obverse dies this year do not have any detail in the Indian's right hand. This is not a defect, or due to a weak strike.

 

1926 was the first year of issue for the Oregon Trail half dollar. Only 10,000 minted in 1936.

I like it as a 67. Well struck, nice color and I see lustre.
