Commemorative Gold 1905 Lewis and Clark Dollar. PCGS graded Mint State 66. <b>Ponder this coin closely, amaze yourself at its fresh appearance, it is one of the handsome, brightest Gold Dollars of its type we've had the pleasure to offer. Each little portrait is a work of art, the simple design coupled with the immensity of Lewis & Clark's achievement means it will go down in history as one of America's major commemorative issues. The Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition held in Portland, Oregon in 1905 is the event where this golden treasure was first offered. The event commemorates the anniversary of the opening of the vast Louisiana Territory and Oregon Country also known as the Northwest Expedition. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark are depicted on the two sides. Attendance from June 1 to October 14, 1905 was over 2,500,000 ad several medals were also made, along with an issue of federal stamps. Emphasis of the State exhibitors was on fisheries, forestry and mining, but seven major exhibition palaces offered the usual national exposition fare. Farran Zerbe supervised the numismatic display and it was he who also directed sale of the Lewis and Clark commemorative gold dollars.</b> <p align="center">Superior Galleries was founded in 1929 and has been a leader in
