Description

PCGS 1900 Lafayette Dollar MS 65. One of the major consignors to this auction was an advanced collector named David M. Faraday. The late Mr. Faraday kept a log book of all his coins in which he recorded from whom he purchased all his coins, the price he paid, and when purchased. Additionally, he wrote terse but accurate descriptions of each coin. For this coin we reproduce his unedited comments: "Blue & lavender obverse with extreme cartwheel effect. Reverse blotchy blue & gray. Minor abrasions horse's hindquarters. Superb and unusual coin." The coin was purchased from B.R. Lovell at the Central States Show on April 28, 1973 for $650--another example that quality doesn't cost, it pays.
