1900 Lafayette Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Attractively toned. A gorgeous gem example! Only 36,026 struck. Without doubt the most visually stunning feature of this Lafayette Dollar is its soft, frosted mint luster. Full swirling luster on both sides, in fact. Of course, collectors seeing the photos understand this coin is nicely struck for the date as well, best of all entirely so. Certainly a coin that gets proper mention where completeness of design across the board in the Commemorative Silver series is almost impossible to attain.
The heads of Washington and Lafayette appear jugate -- here actually cheek to cheek, in a singularly appropriate testimony not only to their joint role in the Revolution but to their relationship in life. "The childless Washington and the then extremely handsome young Lafayette were closer than brothers throughout the war," explains Breen in his book on Commemorative coinage. "It might have been even more appropriate to portray them as they appeared then, rather than decades later, but possibly no engraved portrait of Lafayette of that time was available to go with those of Washington by Pierre Eugene du Simitiere."
Lafayette’s pose on the statue, as depicted on the coin, was meant to represent him in triumphal procession rather than charging against the enemy -- note the sheathed sword serving as a standard rather than brandished unsheathed as a weapon (PCGS # 9222) Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000

1900 Lafayette Dollar. NGC graded MS-64. The obverse is nicely toned while the reverse is frosty white. The United States' first Commemorative Silver Dollar, designs were by Charles E. Barber after an engraving of Houdon's bust of Washington. On the reverse, Barber depicted the Lafayette equestrian statue at the Paris Exposition of 1900. Lafayette Dollars were sold to defray part of the cost of completing Paul Wayland Bartlett's statue of the French General, then under construction in Paris for display at the exposition. Out of an authorization for 50,000 pieces, 36,000 were sold, the remainder being melted (PCGS # 9222) Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000
