Prized Gem Lafayette Dollar
The First Commemorative Silver Dollar

1900 $1 Lafayette Dollar MS65 NGC. The first commemorative silver dollar and the first coin to depict an American president, the Lafayette dollar is an interesting and impressive coin. The issue is scarce at the Gem level, because many original owners purchased the coins as souvenirs and pocket pieces. The present coin is sharply struck, with brilliant surfaces throughout. Examples with this much visual appeal are seldom encountered.
