Ok....here is my guess...NOTE...I haven't graded many Comms before. MS62 (maybe 63...the photo of the back is small)...to me the dark toning takes it down a peg... Speedy
I just snagged it on ebay in an old PCGS holder so I do not have my own pics yet. I will reveal the grade later.
Oh...an OLD PCGS holder...well this might change things...sometimes they under graded the coins...but my grade doesn't change ;--) Speedy
my guess would be its a Tex Commem. 50 cent piece. 1934. MS 65 and is numbered 09381.65/6004069 just my opinion
What is the symbolism of the angel on the Texas coin? Guardian angel for all those who died at the Alamo?
Oh! Female gender figure, long draped garment, big wings, how could I have not seen it was "Winged Victory!" It is all so obvious now!
Wise guy As a general rule - when the female figure, winged or otherwise, is used on a coin they represent an allegorical figure such as Liberty, Victory, Equality, Justice etc. But every now and then they design a coin wit a female figure that represents - an actual female I suppose that's just to keep us on our toes. And yes - I have even seen - angels !!
And if my memory and learning is correct, they are all modern dollar coins. The Susan B. Anthony dollar, the Sacagawea dollar coin. And in case you might think I have not been paying attention, yes the Alabama statehood quarter has Helen Keller represented on it, but it is not “her” quarter. The other two women do have their own coin.
And Whoopig- Sorry about the thread hijack. Did not mean for that to happen. Very nice coin. One I hope to add to my own collection in the near future.
