1905 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS66 NGC. The large-scale mel
<B>1905 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS66 NGC.</B></I> The large-scale meltings and rapid price depreciation of the Louisiana Purchase gold dollars made collectors wary of the new Lewis and Clark commemoratives, and after the relative failure of the issues of 1904 and 1905, it would be another decade before any commemorative coinage, gold or silver, would be struck in the United States. This example from 1905, generally considered to be the scarcer of the two dates, has highly lustrous yellow-gold surfaces, though without the prooflike surfaces often seen on higher-grade pieces. The portraits have suitable detail, and hardly any marks are visible to the unaided eye. With only two finer examples certified by NGC, it is hard to come across a better example for a high-grade set of commemorative gold (11/06).<BR><I>From The RNB Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
