The Oregon Trail Memorial half dollar was a fifty-cent piece struck intermittently by the United States Bureau of the 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. Struck over a lengthy period in small numbers per year, the many varieties produced came to be considered a ripoff by coin collectors, and led to the end, for the time, of the commemorative coin series.

俄勒冈小径纪念半美元（英語：Oregon Trail Memorial half dollar）是美国铸币局1926至1939年间断生产的50美分纪念币，和夫妇设计，纪念十九世纪中期沿俄勒冈小径前往美国太平洋海岸地区定居的先辈。纪念币多次补发，好些年的产量都很少，新品种层出不穷。钱币收藏爱好者认为此举无异欺诈并强烈抗议，最终导致美国连续数十年没有再发行纪念币。 1852年，俄亥俄州人士以斯拉·米克拖家带口经过小径，他长寿的一生有二十年在呼吁世人不要忘记俄勒冈小径，直至1928年以97岁高龄谢世。1926年，95岁的米克来到联邦参议院，向委员会请求授权政府发行纪念币，销售获利用于安装路标，显示历史上的小径位置。纪念币源于爱达荷州人士米妮·霍华德医生的构想，打算用于筹资进一步维护，米克把理念发扬光大。国会的授权发行量高达六百万枚，而且没有限制发行年份或由哪些铸币分局生产。米克设立的俄勒冈小径纪念协会在1926年订购十余万枚，但未能全部卖出。1933至1939年，协会基本每年都订购少量纪念币，部分年份甚至三家铸币分局都生产，借助各分局的不同铸币标记形成大量品种，市场价格显著攀升。

An act to authorize the coinage of 50-cent pieces in commemoration of the heroism of the fathers and mothers who traversed the Oregon Trail to the far West with great hardship, daring, and loss of life, which not only resulted in adding new states to the Union but earned a well-deserved and imperishable fame for the pioneers; to honor the twenty thousand dead that lie buried in unknown graves along two thousand miles of that great highway of history; to rescue the various important points along the old trail from oblivion; and to commemorate by suitable monuments, memorial or otherwise, the tragic events associated with that emigration—erecting them either along the trail itself or elsewhere, in localities appropriate for the purpose, including the city of Washington.

The Oregon Trail Memorial half dollar was a fifty-cent piece struck intermittently by the United States Bureau of the 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. Struck over a lengthy period in small numbers per year, the many varieties produced came to be considered a ripoff by coin collectors, and led to the end, for the time, of the commemorative coin series. Ohio-born Ezra Meeker had traveled the Trail with his family in 1852 and spent the final two decades of his long life before his death in 1928 publicizing the Oregon Trail, that it should not be forgotten. In 1926, at age 95, he appeared before a Senate committee, requesting that the government issue a commemorative coin that could be sold to raise money for markers to show where the Trail had been. The coin had originally been thought of by Idahoans, led by Dr. Minnie Howard, seeking to further preservation work at Fort Hall; Meeker broadened the idea. Congress authorized six million half dollars, and placed no restriction on when or at what mint the coins would be struck. Meeker's Oregon Trail Memorial Association (OTMA) had tens of thousands of pieces struck in 1926 and 1928, and did not sell them all. Nevertheless, most years between 1933 and 1939, it had small quantities of the half dollar coined, in some years from all three operating mints to produce mintmarked varieties, and raised prices considerably. Collectors complained that some of the issues were controlled by coin dealers, and individual collectors had to pay high prices. Public protests followed, and in 1939 Congress ended the series. Despite the complaints, the OTMA had difficulty in selling the coins, and they remained available from the OTMA's successor organization as late as 1953. Just over 260,000 of the 6,000,000 authorized coins were struck, of which about 60,000 were melted. The US commemorative coin struck over the longest period, the Oregon Trail Memorial half dollar has been widely praised for its design.
