1836 PG$1 Gold Dollar, Judd-70, Pollock-73, Low R.7, PR65 Brown NGC. Ex: Exemplar Collection. The obverse shows a glory of rays surrounding a cap inscribed LIBERTY. On the reverse a palm branch encircles the denomination 1 D., with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around and the 1836 date below. Struck in copper with a plain edge. The gold dollar restrikes, such as the present piece, were made circa 1859 and later. These restrike -- some in medal turn, some in coin turn -- were struck in silver, copper, and oroide. The design reflects a similar Cap and Rays design that appeared on Mexican silver coins about 1825. Fewer than a dozen examples are believed known in copper. While labeled Brown, there is considerable underlying red mint luster still evident over each side. Sharply defined and problem-free.
