1900 Lafayette Silver Dollar. MS-65 (CACG).

1900 Lafayette Silver Dollar. MS-65 (CACG). Featuring exceptionally smooth surfaces, this richly original premium Gem example also sports attractive toning. Predominantly silver-mauve gray in appearance, direct lighting calls forth intermingled highlights of antique gold, pale olive and powder blue. This silver dollar commemorates construction of a monument to General Lafayette erected at the 1900 Paris Expedition. Although the Philadelphia Mint struck 50,000 pieces for distribution, the maximum allowed by Congress, only 36,000 coins were sold and the remaining 14,000 examples were melted. Many of the Lafayette dollars sold were either cleaned, circulated, or preserved in lower end Mint State grades with handling and heavy contact marks, making upper end Gem examples extremely sought after by the uncompromising collector. This piece stands out for its both its technical quality and originality and is sure to end up in a high quality set. CACG Population: 12; 2 finer (both MS-66). PCGS# 9222. NGC ID: BYKW.
