Stunning beauty. The Texas have that near concave strike that makes the design elements seem deeper and bolder. I love that super busy but well balanced reverse. Congratulations. That is a coin to cherish.

Dave700x and Dith pran- yes also one of my favorite designs
Moxking- Yes its that concavity that makes the design on the reverse stand out so much.......reminds me so much of those greek carvings that come out from the wall, I love it!

Very attractive example! Congrats on the purchase.
Is there a reason you've held back on sharing the coin's grade?

No not at all......those were the stock pics which the seller used to show the detail so it wasnt included in the shot and I just took screen grabs.....you wanna guess the grade?

Fully concur with the prior opinions of a lovely historical commemorative ... wondering if you are considering other examples from this tremendous series or if this a single coin that satisfied you need? Either way ... congratulations on the indeed lovely coin. I'm willing to guess the grade ... NGC MS66. Hopeful that I'm not too far off.  David

nicklestarter thanks for the positive words....Ill be going after The Oregon Commemorative next....I believe that's the one with the Indian on the front and the covered wagon on the back? I have to check. I will not collect all just my favorites and of my favorites I will try and get every years mint mark and year
Ill let a couple more people guess the grade then just post it tomorrow!
