As long as we're discussing classic commems, here is my 1925-S California Diamond Jubilee (I was born and raised in CA and am back living there now):  And my 1936 Texas Centennial (lived in TX from 2004-2016):  |

bandsdean - Beautiful example, and I agree on a 66 assessment.

These three are all really great specimens and some of the better classic commem issues for sure! I notice a difference in photography here. clairhardesty - how do you create these photos? or are these coins TPG'd and these pics come from the TPG'er? |

All of the photography is mine. The TX coin is photographed through an NGC slab and the CA coin is raw. Both were photographed using only diffused sunlight (indoors not far from windows on a partly cloudy day). Some of these series are truly engraver's delights. The TX obverse is so busy that fields are virtually absent. Many others, like the CA coin, have fields that are far from flat. Shows what the designers & engravers can do when they don't have to cover both cameo proof & matte coins at the same time.

Hope your 1936-S returns looking like this (or better!).  |

Nice looking example! Did you opt for the TrueView imaging? I am have shied away from buying (just about) anything raw these days. I have been bitten too many times. I like my coins with a little "character";   Edited by oih82w8

I hope so too. That is a beautiful example! Looks like it has some color/Iridescence. I notices the prices have dropped recently which is fine with me. Buying opportunity!

If it is PVC damage, it slipped past the PCGS graders (problem free MS66), or developed after the fact. Still a keeper in my collection!

If it has not changed much in that time, I would not worry about it.
