1836 Original Gobrecht Dollar, PR53
Judd-60, Die State F

1836 P$1 Name on Base, Judd-60 Original, Pollock-65, R.1, PR53 NGC. Silver. Plain Edge. Die Alignment I (center of Liberty's head is opposite the DO in DOLLAR). Die State F. This die state is mainly confirmed by the rim nick above the R in DOLLAR; other diagnostics are speculative because of the deep toning. The rim around each side shows several irregularly spaced rim nicks. Otherwise, the surfaces display rich blue-gray patina with iridescent undertones. The fields on each side reveal a few small contact marks, but remarkably few for a coin that has seen seen seven points of circulation. Mild, even rub over the high points is consistent with the grade. Little reflectivity remains in the fields, but one must remember Gobrecht dollars may be labeled as proofs, but they are not proofs in the traditional sense we understand today. Even in the highest grades, the fields will only show reflectivity that is comparable to what we call a Prooflike today.
