1900 $1 Lafayette Dollar MS65 PCGS. DuVall 1-B. Lafayette dollars are relatively plentiful in MS62 to MS64 grades. True Gems are scarce, however, since on most examples, Washington's cheek is abraded and the cartwheel luster is diminished. This fortunate exception has impressive cartwheel sheen, and the only detectable contact is above the back legs of the horse, which is hardly a focal point of the design. Lightly toned and lovely.

Sharply struck and lustrous, with faint amounts of speckled toning near the borders and a single small mark, on Washington's chin, that fails to prevent the MS67 grade.

1904 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS63 PCGS. The 1903 and 1904 Lewis and Clark issues are about equally rare in MS63, but in higher grades the 1904 issue becomes progressively more elusive. This piece offers pretty sunset-gold surfaces with good luster. Light chatter in the fields on each side is noted, but there are no singularly distracting marks. (PCGS# 7447)

1893 25C Isabella Quarter MS66 NGC. The Isabella quarter and Lafayette dollar will always occupy a special place in the hearts and minds of collectors of our nation's early commemorative coins, because of their status as "odd-denomination" coins, produced before Mint officials apparently settled on the half dollar as the flagship for silver commemorative coinage. The number of pieces that remained unmelted is around 24,000 coins. This example is boldly struck, like most specimens found, with gray-gold, amber, and mint-green hues over the pristine, unmarked surfaces. (PCGS# 9220)
