Proof Commemorative Gold
1903 G$1 Louisiana Purchase Jefferson Gold Dollar PR67 Cameo PCGS. The Louisiana Purchase Exposition was held in St. Louis to commemorate the centennial of the Louisiana Purchase from France, which took place in 1803, under President Thomas Jefferson's administration. Two gold dollar coins were issued in connection with the exposition, one with a bust of Jefferson on the obverse and the other with a bust of President William McKinley, who had recently been assassinated. The first 100 coins struck from the two die pairs were produced in proof format and given to exposition and government officials and other insiders, but were not made available to the numismatic community as a whole. Few have survived in high grade.
This Superb Gem features the Jefferson design, with sharply detailed, frosty design elements that contrast boldly with the deeply reflective fields. The impeccably preserved yellow-gold surfaces show no mentionable distractions and eye appeal is terrific. Population: 1 in 67 Cameo, 0 finer (3/17).
