Lot 2714
1903 Louisiana Purchase-Jefferson Gold Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. A bright golden gem with a touch of tone noted on the reverse. Only 17,500 struck. A portrait of the third President was selected for the obverse, but when the then President William McKinley was shot down in 1901, it was decided to modify the enabling bill to include his portrait on a second issue, hence the two versions of the Louisiana-Purchase gold dollar that collectors aspire to own (PCGS # 7443) .
Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,400.
