1986 Texas Sesquicentennial Silver Proof Set
Overview
1986 Lone Star Mint Heroes of the Alamo Series is a three-coin silver proof set issued in 1986 during the Texas Sesquicentennial. Produced by Lone Star Mint of Plano, Texas, the set commemorates three central figures of the Battle of the Alamo—William B. Travis, Jim Bowie, and Davy Crockett—using a unified reverse and consistent portrait-style obverses.
The series is a tightly controlled private-mint issue, clearly branded and distributed as a matched collector set.

Context
Issued during a highly active commemorative period in 1986, this series exists alongside multiple private-mint and distributor programs. Unlike larger multi-design sets, the Heroes of the Alamo Series is narrowly focused on Alamo leadership, with a clean three-coin structure and consistent mint execution.
