Just got this 1935 Texas in the mail today. I wasnt really planning on buying it, but after noticing it had been on David Lawrence for a while I decided to make an offer. I figured they would counter back and I could think about it for a while. But to my delight my first offer was accepted and it became a deal I couldnt pass up. Havent yet decided whether or not I want to try and complete the full Texas set, but I would like to have one from each year of the series.   |

Tz thank you.
Fuzzy I do really how how detailed it is on the back. The eagle and star on the front is very fitting as well.
speck no carbon spots, I try and stay away from coins with those personally. If anything it actually looks "newer" than the pictures make it appear, but I am usually very picky when it comes to this set. I usually dont even like toning unless it is a slight gold tint but those very toned coins a lot of people love just dont do it for me for some reason. And thank you.

Great coin! Congrats on the purchase! These coins are wonderful in a high mint state grade like yours -- all of the details come shining through!
A complete Texas set would definitely be a thing of beauty if you should decide to pursue it. I've always been more of a type collector, so one example works for me. At times though, I've thought about expanding my set to include an example from each Mint.

I feel like if I do it for one I will want to do it for all of them. I would like to do it for the Boone and possibly for this and the Oregon as well, but the Alabama and Washington ones I think 1 example should suffice. At the moment for this and the Oregon I would like to do 1 from each year which and take it from there |

Lovely coin! Congratulations on the outstanding addition to your growing set. There are a few multi-coin sets within this fabulous series that I am considering ... Texas and Oregon Trail amongst them. Well done by choosing this lovely example ... looking forward to all of your future additions. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Thanks Nickel.
I really do like the Texas and Oregon a lot myself. The Boone seems to be the most doable in terms of numbers.
I think the only thing I can say for sure is I wont be doing the washington one. Just way to many and theres to many other coins in the set I like a lot more where I would rather put my resources into them

I have always loved the Texas Commem's design. I think it is beautifully done and that is pretty amazing when you consider it has so much going on on the Reverse. I was upgrading all my Commems in the Dansco7070 album to classics and I had chosen three of them that had some sort of Eagle on the coin and then the Roanoke Commem. since I live in NC, but the Texas was definitely at the top of the list as a have to have for the set
