Lot Description

This is a flashy jewel boasting a medley of honey-gold and orange-rose colors throughout. The luster is uniform throughout, with each side blanketed in soft, satiny frosting. Incredibly smooth for the issue and free from noteworthy imperfections.<p>Although Lewis and Clark commemorative gold dollars were struck dated 1904, the exposition celebrating the Corps of Discovery's journey did not open in Portland until 1905. Gold dollars dated 1905 were also made, with a mintage of 35,000 pieces, 10,000 more than struck the year before. However, net distribution, after melting, of both dates of Lewis and Clark gold dollars amounted to only about 10,000 examples of each. That offered here is certainly among the finer examples remaining of the 1905-dated issue, and would be an impressive addition to any high quality set.
