<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1274156, member: 26030&quot;]Just bought this Texas Commemorative that was sold by B. Max Mehl (a pioneer of modern U.S. numismatics) probably sometime in the 1940&#039;s or 1950&#039;s.&nbsp; &nbsp; It&#039;s no wonder this coin toned so intensely being stored in a paper envelope for half a century by the collector that bought it from Mehl. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]139965.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]139966.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>If you are wondering who the heck is B. Max Mehl. There is a short bio of him here: <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t192747/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t192747/">http://www.cointalk.com/t192747/</a>.&nbsp; I think he is the primary reason there are so many coin collectors today -- he really popularized the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
