Description

Evenly Worn 1836 Gobrecht Dollar, PR20
Die Alignment I

1836 P$1 Name on Base, Judd-60 Original, Coin Alignment Pollock-65, R.1, PR20 PCGS. Silver. Plain Edge. Die Alignment I (the center of Liberty's head is opposite the DO in DOLLAR). There is no obvious die clash mark above the eagle's wing to indicate a late-December striking. However, on a coin with 40 points of wear such a subtle marker would most likely have worn away. The surfaces are evenly worn and present well from side to side. Each side shows gray-blue toning overall with lighter, contrasting silver-rose accents over the high points. The only mark worthy of consideration is a shallow scratch on the upper left of the reverse. Gobrecht dollars are avidly sought in all grades, and this one will undoubtedly be contested by several collectors of 19th century type coins.
