<B>1903 G$1 McKinley PR67 <img src="/images/star.gif" width="10" height="10" alt="" border="0"> Cameo NGC.</B></I> The 1903 Louisiana Purchase Exposition gold dollars came with two different obverses. One depicts Thomas Jefferson, the president who masterminded the $15 million dollar Louisiana Purchase, the other features William McKinley, the president who signed into law the legislation sanctioning the Exposition.<BR> According to Anthony Swiatek and Walter Breen in <I>The Encyclopedia of United States Silver and Gold Commemorative Coins: 1892-1954:</B></I><BR><BR> "... the first 100 of each type were brilliant proofs. They were originally distributed in large cardboard pages with certificates signed by J.M. Landis, Superintendent, and Rhine R. Freed, Coiner, Philadelphia Mint. Each was certified to be one of the first hundred pieces coined of the issue; each had a penciled serial number at one corner."<BR><BR> NGC and PCGS combined have certified slightly more than 50 1903 McKinley proof specimens. The two services have given the Cameo designation to 12 coins, and NGC has assigned the coveted Star to a single Cameo example, the one offered for sale in the present lot! This fabulous coin was certainly among the earlier strikes. The gold-on-black appearance jumps out at the observer, and the frosty design elements are boldly delineated. The surfaces on both sides are immaculately preserved.<BR> 1903 Louisiana Purchase Exposition gold dollars come on the market only infrequently, especially in the awesome level of preservation seen on this coin. We would thus expect that enthusiasts of early gold commemoratives will pay special attention to this outstanding example.<BR> <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
