USA, 1900 LAFAYETTE SILVER DOLLAR. Toned, uncirculated.

In a slab by NGC as MS64. Mintage 50,000 Net distribution after melting 36,026 The heads of Washington and Lafayette appear 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. The words PARIS 1900 refer to the Paris Exposition. Congress authorized these coins in March 1899, as part of the government's participation in the 1900 Paris Exposition, and in commemoration of the Centennial of Washington's death.
