Commemorative Silver
1900 $1 Lafayette Dollar MS65 PCGS. DuVall 2-C. Mottled forest-green and cream-gray toning embraces this lustrous and nicely struck commemorative silver dollar. A lens reveals moderate contact on the horse's chest and hindquarters. A little-known fact about the Lafayette dollar is that the U.S. Treasury Department melted 14,000 unsold examples during 1945. They had been stored for decades in unopened bags within government vaults.
