Description
1836 Gobrecht Dollar, PR64
Judd-58 Restrike, Name Below Base
Famous Cabinet Coin Variety
Ex: Garrett
1836 P$1 Name Below Base, Judd-58 Restrike, Pollock-61, Low R.6,
PR64 NGC. Ex: Garrett. Silver. Die Alignment III: Center of
Liberty's head opposite N in ONE. Die State C, the earliest state
for Judd-58 Alignment III. The heavy peripheral die cracks on the
reverse are present, although there is not yet rust in front of
Liberty's face. The later states show rust in the field, and,
eventually, the reverse is lapped and the border legend weakened in
various places. On this piece, the border legend and dentils are
strong.The most recent authority on when Judd-58 was struck comes from research by Saul Teichman, John Dannreuther, and Craig Sholley, as presented on their DTS website. According to recent findings, the Name Below Base 1836-dated Gobrecht dollars are Mint Cabinet coins, struck circa 1858 to 1859, from an obverse die manufactured about the same time. Thus, the Judd-58 obverse die was not a leftover 1836 obverse but a new die made for the purpose of creating a rare Restrike variety. The DTS authors note: "Overlays and remnants of the name on the base visible on well struck coins show that the obverse die was manufactured in 1858 or 1859, just before the first striking of these pieces, from the 1836 Name On Base master die or a leftover 1836 Name On Base working die."
A rare Restrike variety was indeed created, and today, collectors seek out these pieces vigorously, as only a couple dozen are thought to exist. The present example is the former Garrett coin, which is traceable back to an 1882 Chapman brothers auction. It displays sublime colors, including reds, blues, greens, gold, and russet throughout the fields, complementing the mirrored surfaces and sharp, satiny devices. A loupe reveals scattered light marks in the fields, which are hidden by the patina and limit the grade, as was also noted in the Garrett catalog in 1980. Overall, this is a rarely seen example of a rare Cabinet Restrike variety, and a coin sure to draw attention.
