<B>1905 Lewis & Clark Centennial, HK-327, MS64 Brown NGC.</B></I> Bronze, 34.9 mm, "rare" (HK, 1963). Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery first espied the Pacific Ocean from the mouth of the Columbia River on Nov. 20, 1805, although they would not return to St. Louis, their starting point, until Sept. 23 of the following year, after a journey of two years, four months, and 10 days. Despite the Brown designation, considerable mint red is still visible in the peripheries of this pleasing near-Gem example. The official medal of the Lewis & Clark Centennial Exposition, held from June 1-Oct. 14, 1905. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
