TFA blurb review
The Lewis and Clark Exposition gold dollar is a commemorative coin that was struck in 1904 and 1905 as part of the United States Government's participation in the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition, held in the latter year in Portland, Oregon. Designed by United States Bureau of the Mint Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber, the coin marked the centennial of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the first US overland expedition to reach the Pacific Coast. It did not sell well and less than a tenth of the authorized mintage of 250,000 was issued. The coins were, for the most part, sold to the public by numismatic promoter Farran Zerbe, who had also vended the Louisiana Purchase Exposition dollar. As he was unable to sell much of the issue, surplus coins were melted by the Mint. The Lewis and Clark Exposition dollar is the only American coin to be "two-headed", with a portrait of Meriwether Lewis on one side, and William Clark on the other.
