Owner's Description

Mom, are we there yet? Lewis and Clark weren't pestered in that way, but intrinsically you know they kept telling themselves, "Just one more day" Ok, maybe a bit nebulous, but this coin shows that L&C were thrilled they made their journey to see the Pacific Ocean. It took approx. 2 years from the Lousianna Purchase for Americans to say they had surveyed their property from sea to shining sea. From a coin perspective, the reverse appears to be a very difficult strike for any coin. First, lots of small lettering toward the rim, very minor details depicting the coast line, raised text on detail, the sandblast of the details, and then the little bit of clear field at the horizon.
