I'm still looking for a little bit of color, but..................

[cpm9ball]

I couldn't pass this up. Honestly, I have to say that looking at so many beautiful coins on these boards could easily bankrupt most anyone if they tried to acquire similar specimens. Every one of the commems that I have tried to obtain with really nice toning has always been just beyond my means.

That is nice, Rey. Thanks!

 

Dooly, the Maryland Colony was founded by Cecil Calvert, Lord Baltimore, and the earliest settlement was established in 1634 on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay at Kent Island. I always thought it strange that they chose this location rather than across the bay on the western shore at or near the mouth of the Patuxent River. A western shore location would have been a safer haven as opposed to the unprotected and flat marshlands along the eastern shoreline.

 

Sixty years later, in 1694, Annapolis (on the Patuxent River) was established as the State Capital. Today, it remains the oldest statehouse still in use. It's also interesting to know that the Annapolis Historic District contains more pre-Revolutinary War structures than any other historic district in the nation.

Mike, I go both ways on this issue. About 18 months ago, I asked one particular dealer to be on the lookout for me for any 20's and 30's commems with nice toning. He sent me an e-mail to tell me that he had just posted some Oregon Trails with beautiful tab toning. He also had a nice Maryland Terc with irridescent hues. The prices seemed reasonable so I called him immediately, but they were all sold. Oh, well!

This coin looks pretty much like the same one I just bought, I just hope I did not pay to much for it.

The seller listed it for $299 on a BIN, and I made an offer for $200 which he accepted. It is in an NGC MS65 holder. The important thing is that I'm happy with it.

Looks like a nice clean coin with good lustre!! Nice pick up!!!

 

 

[TJ'S Coins]

Chris - you got a nice Texas Commemorative. It is well struck and lustrous. While I prefer a little color too, you did well on this coin.

[James_OldeTowne]

These Texas commems have been frowned up on by many collectors as being "too busy", but I personally like them very much for the amount of detail concentrated in that design. I like the San Diego's for the same reason! Great choice of an example of this beautiful coin.

[rbrown4]

I agree with James on the design and detail. Granted I am a little biased being from Texas.

 

I too like some color on these commemoratives, however this one of mine has none to speak of.

Looks like I see a little in the Rev. Rey?? Very very nice!!
