Description
1839 Gobrecht Dollar, PR65
Judd-105 Restrike
Fewer Than a Dozen Pieces Believed Known
1839 P$1 Name Omitted, Judd-105 Restrike, Pollock-117, Low R.7,
PR65 PCGS. Ex: Simpson. Silver. Plain Edge. Die Alignment III
(head of Liberty opposite the N in ONE, after a coin turn). The
Judd-105 Cabinet Coin restrikes were all struck in Die Alignment
III and all from a single die state. (On the DTS website it is
called State A, but really, how can there be an A if there is no
B?) Fewer than a dozen examples are known of the Judd-105. Our
Auction Archives list 14 appearances at public auction since 1992,
but we cannot find this coin listed. The all-time record price for
a Judd-105 was the Jack Lee PR65, a coin that brought $230,000 in
2005. Die cracks on the reverse, the absence of the low spot at F,
and the strong polish lines on the right side of the die all
indicate a striking period the same as for the middle die state
Judd-104 restrikes. That places the actual production date for this
piece between 1863 and 1865. This, of course, implicates Mint
Director Henry Linderman in the production of the Judd-105
restrikes, a practice he resumed when he returned to the
directorship in 1873.This is a well-produced dollar whose fields are deeply mirrored (a trait that is consistent with the 1863-1865 timeframe, but inconsistent with the 1839 date on the coin). Rose-gold and pale blue accents of color are seen on each side with significant areas of brilliance remaining. A unique pedigree identifier is a shallow, circular planchet void seen in the field just to the right of the hand of Liberty. Below is an updated roster of Judd-105 dollars:
