Commemorative Silver
1900 $1 Lafayette Dollar MS66 PCGS. DuVall 1-B. The A in DOLLAR leans left and is lower than the adjacent L. As many as 50,000 Lafayette dollars were authorized for production, to be sold for $2 each. Only 36,026 coins made it into the hands of the public; the remainder were melted decades later. This delightful Premium Gem is awash in frosty luster that emanates from beneath lilac-gray, crimson, and ice-blue patina. Well-rendered devices exhibit a hint of incompleteness over Lafayette's leg and the saddle. A minor reed mark on Washington's forehead is the sole imperfection.
