My new Texas commem. Dont look if you dont like toning

[chinook]

The luster is quite strong. The left side of the obverse is not as dark as it looks. It is a lovely rich auburn red color. The pic is a little underlighted as one of my lights blew a bulb.

Very pretty...

[rexcat]

lights blew a bulb.

 

Yeah with as good as your half looks to me, I could see that happening.

 

The Texas commem. design is one of my favorite, top two actually, in the Commemoratives from 1892-1954

 

Yours is an outstanding example.

[Prethen]

Any chance of revealing how much something like this would cost? Could you post some other pictures?

[Hoot]

Spare yourself the pain of looking at that awful tarnish and send the coin to me.

I don't like classic commem, but that is one very pretty coin.

[TomB]

That coin looks very familiar! It's a beautiful piece and the price was very fair to all involved.

[bigd5]

Thanks for all the positive comments. And thanks to a fellow forum member for letting me adopt this puppy.

Anyone know how many times they had to strike these commems to get the details fully struck?

[Bruceswar]

Whats the grade on this beauty?

[chinook]

Bruce, It is graded MS66

[Bruceswar]

thats a very nicee grade.... I was thinking more along the 65 lines because of the flatness on the leg? Maybe I am totally wrong?

[kryptonitecomics]

...Sweet coin......hard to find anything to not like on a coin.....but I don't like that it's not mine

 

[Techno_mike-migration]

Beautiful coin...both color and form!

 

I am amazed how far we have fallen from the Mint's glory days...today we get a cow and a stalk of corn (hopefully with an extra "leaf") or some other hodge-podge of mismatched flat, low-relief, easy to strike, cheap designs.

Bruce,

 

Because this design is rather busy, it is not uncommon for there to be some weakness in strike. While this coin is not struck up fully it certainly is above average.

[truthteller]

I would like to buy this coin.

I handled that coin over a year ago and still have my image. It's a pretty memorable piece, for sure. I hope you don't mind me posting it:
