Lot Description

1936-S Texas Independence Centennial. MS-68 (PCGS). CAC. Moderately toned with golden-russet and iridescent shades on the obverse and reverse with flecks of silver luster shining through. The strike is bold as expected. 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 <em>Population Report</em> and sole example at this level requires all the right attributes in a special coin, and here it is in all its glory.
