<B>1905 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS65 PCGS.</B></I> Assembling a complete set of classic gold commemoratives is a significant undertaking, and while the higher-denomination issues present some of the largest challenges, the gold dollars contain a few elusive issues as well. Q. David Bowers (1991), in his <I>Commemorative Coins of the United States</B></I>, notes that " ... among all commemorative gold coins of this denomination, the Lewis and Clark issues of 1904 and 1905 are singularly distinctive for their rarity in higher grades."<BR> This Gem offers strong, pleasing luster with a measure of roughness evident in the fields. The well struck devices are carefully preserved overall, though a wispy mark is noted in the right obverse field. Aside from a rose-violet alloy spot between the ED of UNITED on the reverse, the surfaces are predominantly pale yellow-gold.<BR><I>From The Fleur Wales-Baillie Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
