Description
Highly Lustrous MS66 1900 Lafayette Dollar
1900 $1 Lafayette Dollar MS66 PCGS. DuVall 2-C. Beyond its low net mintage and its desirability as the only classic silver commemorative of its denomination, the Lafayette dollar also has an element of condition rarity. After striking, the pieces were not removed carefully from the press, but rather allowed to fall into a hopper and mix with other pieces; as a result, many coins were less than Gem before they ever left the Mint building.The shining surfaces of this well-defined Premium Gem Lafayette dollar show surprisingly little patina, with only hints of gray-gold shadings near the margins. The fields are remarkably clean, and only a few tiny flaws on the overlapping portraits preclude an even finer designation. Supremely elusive in better grades; PCGS has graded just five finer examples (6/09).(Registry values: N4719)
