Description

1900 $1 Lafayette Dollar MS64 NGC. DuVall 1-B. The Lafayette silver dollars were all struck from handmade dies on December 14, 1899, the exact centennial of the death of George Washington (despite their 1900 date), and they were the first coins to feature the same person--Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette--on both sides. This is a sparkling silver-white near-Gem with just a touch of golden color on each side. A few ticks on the statue's boot on the reverse and Washington's cheek on the obverse appear to preclude an even finer grade, but the eye appeal is considerable.
