About This Coin
The 1935 Texas Independence Centennial Commemorative Half Dollar is a United States cent from the Classic Silver Commemoratives (1892-1954) series — 17th of 30 years in the series. In 1935, coins were struck at the Denver, Philadelphia, and San Francisco Mints with a combined mintage of 30,003. This ranks 46th of 80 years by total mintage, above the series median of 26,967. The obverse features designs varying by commemorative issue, each authorized by an individual act of Congress and the reverse displays designs varying by commemorative issue. Struck during the Great Depression, when mintages dropped sharply and the United States abandoned the gold standard in 1933. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 12.5 grams, 30.6 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Struck two years after the 1933 key date, the lowest-mintage regular issue in the series. A notable auction result reached $27K in MS68 grade at Heritage Auctions. Designed by Pompeo Coppini.
