Texas Independence Centennial

Magnificent Ultra Gem 1935 Texas Half Dollar

Just 1 Finer at PCGS

1935 Texas Independence Centennial. MS-68 (PCGS).

A miraculous survivor from this popular Texas issue boasting virtually perfect surfaces. The faintest powder-blue shades dominate the centers while rich bands of magenta and tangerine toning accents the borders. Well struck with incredible matte-like luster on both sides. Just a single coin has been grade finer by PCGS, making this a true prize for advanced Registry Set participants. The Act of June 15, 1933, called for the production of a maximum of 1,500,000 half dollars to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Texas independence, won after the defeat of Santa Anna's forces at the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836, and the subsequent signing of the Treaties of Velasco on May 14. The issues of 1934 and 1935 were produced ahead of the actual centennial at the request of the American Legion Texas Centennial Association to raise money for the Exposition planned for June 6 to November 29, 1936, in Dallas.
