LEWIS AND CLARK 1904 G$1 Gold Commemorative PCGS MS67 (CAC)
1904 G$1 Lewis and Clark
SKU: 2761616
The 1904 Lewis and Clark Gold Dollar is a classic early U.S. gold commemorative, struck at Philadelphia for the Lewis and Clark Exposition held in Portland, Oregon. Authorized by Congress in 1904 and promoted in part through the influence of noted numismatist Farran Zerbe, this issue was intended to celebrate the centennial of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark’s exploration tied to the Louisiana Purchase era. Sales were far below expectations, and large quantities were later melted, making high-grade survivors especially desirable today.
Offered here is a superb 1904 G$1 Lewis and Clark commemorative certified PCGS MS67 with CAC approval, a combination that speaks to both exceptional technical quality and premium originality for the grade. In MS67, this issue becomes legitimately scarce, and CAC endorsement adds an additional layer of selectivity sought by advanced collectors.
