1936 Texas Independence Centennial. MS-69 (NGC).Intensely toned at the peripheries with incredibly vivid gold, orange, emerald and pink almost glowing from the surfaces. The strike is sharp as expected and the luster is satiny and strong. What is truly a marvel to examine is the quality of the surfaces, as they show little or no disturbances form handling. To attain this top of the Population Report requires all the right attributes in a special coin, and here it is in all its glory.Although 8,911 examples were distributed, just two examples have received a grade designation of MS-69 by both NGC and PCGS. 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.
