The reverse is problematic, particularly below the horse. Strike and remaining detail appear very good but I'd call AU+ Details.
With the juice plus S&H it's north of $400 right now. Problem-free AU+ pieces can be found around $500. IMO it's at full retail right now but it's your money. The obverse does look pretty good.

Thing is, it's easy to buy a problem coin, but usually very difficult to sell it.

Commems stated : " I have two examples of the Lafayette Dollar in my collection, one is an MS-63, the other is an MS-64; both were graded and encapsulated by PCGS. The two coins were struck from the same obverse die ("Obverse 1" of four), but two different dies were used for the reverses. The MS-64 coin is "Reverse B" (14 leaves, tip of lowest leaf between the "1" and "9" in "1900") and the MS-63 is "Reverse C" (14 leaves, tip of lowest leaf over the "9" in "1900"). The five known reverse dies are referred to as A, B, C, D and E. The "1-B" coin is the most common variety of Lafayette dollar; the "1-C" is considered scarce to rare. " This my fellow commemorative collecting enthusiast is Exactly what I was thinking of, The 1C is the Scarce one.... Thanks for All you do, Commems.!!!  My examples are One raw and 1 Slabbed. I need to check and label my examples... I need to complete my spread sheets...  |

Commems, I am Super Stoked and energized reading Your Dies Knowledge used on this Commemorative, Very Impressive, Nice to see.  I wanted to Ask Another question about the 1900 Lafayette Dollar. I was directed to Your follow up reply to me about the Differing Reverses on this Exquisite Commemorative. My following question arises from information you so Kindly shared . I see the Obverse You posted was as you stated, From the #1 Obverse. I also saw the post mentioned there Were ( 4 ) Obverses made and used on this Dollar, My question is Being there are 4 known Obverses, Are there any indications or Other small intricate differences, How Can one Know, subtle differences in Those Other Obverses. If you can.... Well Done on the Dies used topic..... Edited by Morgans Dad
