1938-S Texas Independence Centennial. MS-68 (NGC).

1938-S Texas Independence Centennial. MS-68 (NGC). Lightly toned, a soft pale gold and silver iridescence is appreciated when the surfaces are rotated under strong lighting. Bathed in satin to softly frosted luster, this boldly impressed and expertly preserved Ultra Gem is sure to please. As with its identically dated Philadelphia and Denver mint counterparts, the 1938-S Texas has an original mintage for distribution of 5,000 coins. The net mintage after melting of unsold examples amounted to just 3,814 pieces, however, a limited total that confirms the 1938-S as one of the scarcest issues of its type. In MS-68, the coin offered is tied for CC#2 among NGC-certified examples, and it is seemingly earmarked for inclusion in a high-ranked commemorative collection on the firm's Registry. NGC Census: 23; with a single MS-69 finer. The corresponding PCGS Population is 14/0. PCGS# 9396. NGC ID: BYJN. Click here for certification details from NGC.
