Can a Texas Commem have a better strike?

As I was looking around I came across this one. I won't be bidding on it but felt it has to be one of the nicest (if not nicest) strikes I've seen on a Texas. Thought you might enjoy just looking at it. It's in an NGC MS67 holder.

That is a stunning coin.

Beautiful commemorative.

That is a nice looking Comm Richard.

The strike is indeed well above average with Ms. Texas' hand, fingers and knee well defined. Many Texas commemoratives are flat in those areas.

 

I doubt that the coin is an original "snow white" piece. I think it's been lightly dipped. I will also note the mark on Ms. Texas' elbow. When you get to grades like MS-67 such marks should be noted in considering a purchase at those prices.

 

The thing that will make or break this piece is the luster. I imagine that it is bright white when seen "in hand." If it is then the coin is worth a shot although I would not pay crazy PQ MS-67 money for it.

Very nice example but wish it had some color.

I agree with Leeg. It would look fantastic with a little color.
