Very nice! Your reverse is nice and clean and seemingly well struck, showing off all the imagery clearly.
Looks very nice. Old slab MS66?
I like it. The surfaces appear to have a nice glow about them.
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
Beautiful coin. It shows the true detail of this issue. The obverse is a little "crowded", but that's still OK with me.

Very, very nice coin... I like the Texas commem and, since I lived in Houston for a couple of years, I have one in my 'residence' collection....Not as nice as that one though. Cheers, RickO
