Demand for eye-appealing and premium quality coins pushes Heritage Auctions' July 20 event over $237,000.
The 1934 Texas half dollar is the first issue of several for this type honoring the centennial of Texas independence from Mexico in 1836. The coin, designed by Pompeo Coppini, features on its obverse an eagle before -- five-pointed star, referencing the Texas Lone Star symbol. The reverse showcases several design elements, including the winged goddess Victory, cameo portraits of Texas Republic founders General Sam Houston and Stephen Austin, and the famous Alamo. The coin was sold for $1 apiece.
The Texas halves of 1934 through 1938 are generally common coins and are highly popular with coin collectors -- especially those living in Texas or with Lone Star roots. Most examples of the 1934 Texas half dollar are available in the uncirculated grades of MS63-66, though pieces grading MS67 or higher are quite scarce.
