1934 Texas Half Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66. Delicately toned. A well struck, lustrous example. Texas is the Lonestar State, which is why the 5-pointed star is prominently displayed with the eagle. (A single star was part of the Long Expedition (1819), Austin Colony (1821) and several flags of the early Republic of Texas. Some say that the star represented the wish of many Texans to achieve statehood in the United States. Others believe it originally represented Texas as the lone state of Mexico which was attempting to uphold its rights under the Mexican Constitution of 1824. At least one "lone star" flag was flown during the Battle of Concepcion and the Siege of Bexar (1835). So there you have it.) (PCGS # 9381) .
Estimated Value $225 - 250.
