1937-D Texas Independence Centennial. MS-68 (PCGS). CMQ.Intensely toned surfaces exhibit a bold satin finish from the dies. Both sides are lightly toned in a dusting of antique silver and pale pearl-gray iridescence. The strike is sharp, as expected for the issue. What is truly a marvel to examine is the quality of the surfaces, as they show little or no disturbances from handling. To attain this top grade for the issue from PCGS requires all the right attributes in a special coin, and here it is in all its glory.<p>Although 6,599 examples of the 1937-D were distributed, just eight have received a grade designation of MS-68 from PCGS, and there are none finer. Issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Texas independence from Mexico. The reverse design is one of the "busiest" of any U.S. issue. The design features portraits of Sam Houston and Stephen Austin, a depiction of the Alamo, a kneeling and winged figure of Nike as Liberty wearing a flowing gown and liberty cap, and Texas six flags.PCGS# 9391.
