1904 Lewis and Clark Gold Dollar NGC MS66
Both sides are covered in copper-gold color that amplifies the ample remaining luster in the fields and throughout the devices. The strike is strong, with clear definition to the high points of each portrait.

Engraved by Charles E. Barber and struck for the exposition. The Lewis and Clark Dollar honored the Corps of Discovery which explored the Northwest in 1803 to 1806 at the behest of President Jefferson. They were sold for between $2.00 and $2.50 apiece, with the proceeds earmarked for completion of the bronze memorial to Sacagawea, part-time guide and full-time interpreter between the Corps of Discovery and the Indian tribes. Mintage figures show 10,025 dated 1904 and 10,041 dated 1905. (#7447)<p><i>The Endangered Species Collection</i>
