I'll say again that your photography is excellent ....... more than adequate for us to offer some opinions on the coins.

You can read the history of this coin here:

http://www.coincommunity.com/commem...r_dollar.asp

This is the first one from your collection that I believe might get a "Genuine - Not Gradable" tag from a TPG.

Two major concerns ....... rim damage on the obverse at 1:00 and 8:00 and I believe it has seen a cleaning at some point in the distant past.

The coin has obviously seen some circulation use which is not unusual for a Lafayette.

All in all a fun example of the only Silver Commemorative dollar (Classic era).

Thanks for sharing with us.

David

Thanks, David. Regardless of the "questionable" past, it's a beautiful coin in-hand and one I'll enjoy for many years, I'm sure.

This one's on its way to NGC. It'll be interesting to see what they think.
