1903 Louisiana Purchase-Jefferson Gold Dollar. MS-60 Plus. Light hairlines. There is a lovely interplay between orange-gold and bright gold colors that give this the eye appeal of a better grade.
Trivia: Jefferson and John Adams were the only signers of the Declaration of Independence to become Presidents. Also, on July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, Adams died at Quincy, after (allegedly) uttering the famous last words "Thomas Jefferson still survives." Unbeknownst to Adams, Jefferson had died five hours earlier. Finally, Jefferson kept two bear cubs given to him by Lewis and Clark housed in cages on the White House South Lawn.
Estimated Value $525 - 550.
