1903 G$1 LA Purchase, Jefferson MS (PCGS#7443)

Spring 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1903 Louisiana Purchase Exposition Gold Dollar. Jefferson Portrait. MS-67+ (PCGS). The beautiful Superb Gem surfaces are highly lustrous with a satin to softly frosted finish. Bright medium gold patina, a razor sharp strike and virtually pristine surfaces further define this coin as one of the finest examples of the type available. Authorized by Congress on June 28, 1902, these gold dollars were intended to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the purchase of the Louisiana Territory. The coins were issued in connection with the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, held in St. Louis in 1904. Although the original intent of the Mint was to create just one design utilizing a portrait of President Thomas Jefferson, architect of the Louisiana Purchase, the recent assassination of William McKinley led to the creation of a second design to honor the slain president. This is a gorgeous example of the Jefferson design type that would serve as a highlight in the finest collection. PCGS Population: 26; 3 finer (all MS-68). PCGS# 7443. NGC ID: BYLD.
