Did you see the ovation they gave "Bum". We may not win another, but we certainly are going to enjoy this one!

In a communication to the Dallas news of December 25, 1935, William A. Philpott, Jr., Secretary of the Texas Bankers' Association, a member of the Board of Governors of the ANA, and the Dallas Coin Club, writes of the Texas Centennial half dollar:

The Texas Independence Centennial half-dollar, released December 20, is being condemned generally by numismatists and medalists. the coin's design is distinctly disappointing to numismatic students of Texas. It can be indicted on the following counts: The obverse, or head side, is much too crowded. The designer, Pompeo Coppini, attempted to tell too much, and left the whole a mass of illegible lettering and indistinguishable faces, flagstaffs and figures. There is no field or smooth surface of the metal displayed ( a numismatic basic requirement) and the lettering is crowded into the indistinct flange of the coin's milled edge.

and on, and on, and on,

Here's a pic I took of Commemdude's 1936 PCGS MS68 OGH Texas.

Not the ultimate image of this MONSTER as it was taken at his bank in the sdb viewing area with point and shoot.
