Gobrecht Dollars
1836 P$1 Name on Base, Judd-60 Original, Pollock-65, R.1, PR58 NGC. Silver. Plain Edge. Die Alignment IV (center of Liberty's head opposite the right side of F in OF). Die State E. A rim nick shows above the A in STATES, and there is a small die chip apparent below the right side of the R in DOLLAR. The previous die state's diagnostic, the diagonal die clash mark above the eagle's wing, is faintly evident. The fields are more reflective than seen on many 1836 dollars with good mirroring flashing through the speckled charcoal-gray and pale golden toning scattered across each side. The Mint's account books show that these, and other Original Gobrecht dollars, were struck in the final week of December 1836. At the AU58 level, this piece represents a good opportunity for the type collector, with substantial savings compared to a strictly PR60 or finer coin.
