in #steemleo5 years ago

Finishing our small series of the American Half Dollars Commemoratives, we will today present the MS-65 1937-S "Texas".

As all the commemorative half dollars, it weights 12,5g with a 90% silver purity.

This coin commemorates the 100th anniversary of Texas independence from Mexico, in 1836. To have a greater profit, they were minted from 1934 to 1938 in several mints.

NGC graded 1,253 mint state 1937-S Texas, with 461 MS-65 and 584 graded above.

A total of 13,274 1937-S coins were distributed. Today's price is around U$270.00 in this grade(MS-65).

The obverse features an eagle clasping an oak branch with a large star in the background.

The reverse features the kneeling figure of winged Victory. In her right hand is a spray of laurel, while her left hand rests on a representation of the Alamo. Beneath each of Victory’s wings are portraits of the Texas heroes Sam Houston and Stephen Austin.

Hey @ronaldoavelino, here is a little bit of BEER from @eii for you. Enjoy it!

After seeing this design on your other article, I have added this commemorative coin to my list of favorite US Commemorative coins. I have visited the Alamo, and read how brave and courageous those who stood their ground at the Alamo. (And I also enjoyed the Riverwalk while I was there, lol).
Thanks for showing this beautiful coin, my friend @ronaldoavelino! Take care. 🥰🌺🤙

The History behind each commemorative is fantastic. To make the Congress allow some of them to be minted, a lot of money changed hands...Take care.
