1836 PG$1 Gold Dollar, Judd-69, Pollock-72, High R.7, PR64 Cameo NGC. CAC. The obverse offers a Liberty cap appropriately inscribed and surrounded by a glory of rays, the same motif used for the 1836 Mint medal celebrating the advent of steam coinage. It is also very similar to the design seen on certain contemporary Mexican coins. The reverse features a large 1 D. in two lines, surrounded by a palm frond, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the date 1836 around the rim. Struck in silver with a plain edge. Only a half-dozen or so are known in silver, and the striking date is uncertain but likely not in 1836. This is a deeply mirrored example that also has thickly contrasting frosted devices that creates the cameo effect on each side, this in spite of the variegated rose and blue toning across each side.
