Proof Commemorative Gold 1903 G$1 Louisiana Purchase Jefferson

Proof Commemorative Gold
1903 G$1 Louisiana Purchase Jefferson Gold Dollar PR65 Cameo PCGS. Per Walter Breen's Proof Encyclopedia, the first 100 coins each struck of the Louisiana Purchase/McKinley and Jefferson gold dollars were proofs, accompanied by "framed affidavits" certifying their status and signed by Mint officials. This deeply mirrored, nicely contrasted example of the Jefferson type shows far more detail on the hair, face, collar, and coat than normally seen on the circulation strikes. Bright lemon-yellow surfaces host reflective fields and perceptibly frosted devices. An extremely attractive piece. Population: 8 in 65 Cameo, 6 finer (11/23).
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2014), lot 5614; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2022), lot 3393.
