I sure do like this coin

So I am surprised it took this long to get one.

    It's a beauty. I like the Texas commem also. It's the only slabbed one I own.image

    I've always marveled at how busy the reverse of this coin is, yet how attractive it remains. It, in my opinion, is a very cool piece.

    Well it is a double interest for me. I love the design and Texas history. You are right about being a bit busy but I think the winged figure in the front just draws your focus and prevents eye fatigue so to speak. It also seems balanced in symmetry so very eye pleasing to me for a coin.

    Very nice.

    I am a big fan of the Texas commem also. After buying this coin I decided to do the 13 coin set.

    Agreed. I wonder if this guy was moonlighting at Chipendales. image

  • Being from Texas, of course it's my favorites of all the classic commemoratives. I own a raw one but fell in love with the one below when I saw it on eBay a couple years ago. I bid but was beat out. Any one here own it?

    a bit off topic for this thread, but the designs of each are similarly fantastic.

    I would have hated to lose that one too. I am amazed at how brilliant many of these have remained over the years and for others how amazingly they tone.

  • I always thought the reverse was too busy on the Texas. Obverse is killer.
