1900 Lafayette Dollar NGC MS-63.

The luster is unexpectedly nice for MS-63 in spite of deeper ash-gold patina on both sides that has been sprinkled with crumbs of darker tobacco-gold. This is a nice "antique" aesthetic scheme for a... |

1900 Lafayette Dollar. ANACS MS-62.

1900 Lafayette Dollar NGC MS-62+.
|
Seemingly a lock for Choice BU, the MS-62+ grade seems curiously pessimistic given pleasing wideband luster and a prevalently clean appearance. A shift in texture at Washington's cheek appears to be... |

1900 Lafayette Dollar. NGC MS-63.

1900 Lafayette Dollar. NGC AU-58.
