Description

1839 Gobrecht Dollar, Judd-104
Original, PR55, Die Alignment IV

1839 P$1 Name Omitted, Judd-104 Original, Pollock-116, R.3, PR55 NGC. Silver. Reeded Edge. Die Alignment IV (head of Liberty opposite the F in OF). This early die state shows none of the die cracks that develop later. Thus, it may be considered an Original and was most likely struck in 1839. This would also be consistent with the condition of the coin, i.e., it was lightly handled, most likely from a brief time in circulation. Friction over the high points is light and even from side to side. The surfaces overall are also remarkably free from the abrasions and handling marks one would normally expect. The field reflectivity has been dulled, however. Light to medium gray patina is seen over both obverse and reverse.
From The Durham Eagle Collection.
