Description
1935-S Texas Half Dollar, MS68
Tied With One Other for Finest at PCGS
1935-S 50C Texas MS68 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Bruce Scher. The San
Francisco Mint struck 10,000 Texas commemorative half dollars in
1935 (plus eight coins for assay purposes), which were sold at a
cost of $1.50 each, or $4.50 for a three coin set that also
contained an example each of the Philadelphia and Denver issues.
Survivors are collectible in grades through MS67, but at the MS68
level, the challenge of locating a piece multiplies exponentially;
PCGS and NGC each have certified only two pieces at this grade,
with none numerically finer (3/15). The present piece displays
satiny ice-blue luster, with subtle olive-gold and crimson
overtones in the peripheries on each side. The strike is bold and
the preservation is seemingly unimprovable. A lovely coin that will
be a capstone addition to a stellar Texas Independence Centennial
half dollar collection.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# BYJD, PCGS# 9384, GSID# 10371)
