1903 G$1 Louisiana Purchase/Jefferson
1903 G$1 Louisiana Purchase Jefferson Gold Dollar PR65 Cameo PCGS. CAC. The 1903 gold dollar commemorates the Louisiana Purchase centennial and marks the revival of the gold dollar denomination, last issued in 1889. This issue honors Thomas Jefferson, who was President during the 1803 Louisiana Purchase, alongside a separate gold dollar issued honoring President William McKinley. Both varieties saw a net mintage of 17,500 pieces, with the inaugural 100 strikes of each variety being proofs. The proofs were not sold to collectors but presented to Exposition officials and dignitaries. This specimen is a Gem proof with glassy-mirrored orange-gold fields complemented by frosted legends and motifs. The early strike is evident in the bold details and squared-off dentils, traits characteristic of proof production. Jefferson's profile is rendered with exceptional sharpness, set against deeply mirrored fields that surpass the quality found in any prooflike circulation strike. Bold contrast earns the Cameo designation and CAC's endorsement. Population: 8 in 65 Cameo, 6 finer. CAC: 3 in 65, 2 finer (3/24). From The Kestrel Collection.
