Description
1836 'Cap and Rays' Gold Dollar Pattern
Famed On-Metal Judd-67, PR63 Cameo
1836 PG$1 Gold Dollar, Judd-67, Pollock-70, R.5, PR63 Cameo
PCGS. The obverse features a Liberty cap surrounded by rays of
glory, similar in design to certain Mexican coin designs of the
era. The reverse features the denomination 1 D. within a coiled
palm frond, with the date below and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above.
Christian Gobrecht is credited with both designs. Struck in gold
with a plain edge. Judd-67 has considerable historical importance,
as it is the first Federal gold pattern as well as the first
appearance of the gold dollar denomination. This design was also
restruck in the late 1850s, but this piece shows no trace of an
undertype or medallic alignment, and we believe it is an original
striking from 1836. This well struck and flashy specimen is mostly
orange-gold but displays hints of rose-red throughout the reverse
legends. A few thin marks are noted near the denomination.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26VC, PCGS# 11260, Greysheet# 11979)
