<B>1900 $1 Lafayette Dollar MS66 NGC.</B></I> DuVall 1-B. The net mintage of Lafayette dollars stands at just over 36,000 pieces today, with the unsold remainders melted at the Mint over four decades after their production. Attempts to salvage the pieces came too late; Bowers (1991) writes that "Aubrey and Adeline Bebee, dealers who specialized in commemoratives, learned of the cache [of unsold Lafayette dollars] from government records," but when they contacted the Mint, they learned that the coins had been melted and lost forever.<BR> As it stands, the Lafayette dollar is one of the most elusive and desirable classic commemoratives in Gem and better grades. This MS66 representative, boldly impressed for the issue with just a few tiny flaws on each side, offers strong luster with elements of sky-blue and silver-gray in the fields. NGC has graded just eight finer examples (12/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
