The distinctive Wass-Molitor round fifties are the only such coins
in the Territorial series, and examples are highly sought-after.

impressive VG8 specimen exhibits extensive wear on the central
design elements, but the major devices remain complete in outline
and the date and peripheral legend on the reverse remain legible.
The pleasing orange-gold surfaces are lightly abraded and the high
quality within the grade is confirmed by CAC. Listed on page 400 of
the 2026 Guide Book. Population: 2 in 8, 81 finer. CAC: 1 in
8, 14 finer (11/25)From The Texas Republic Ranch Collection.
