Description

1836 PG$1 Gold Dollar, Judd-70 Gilt, Pollock-73, Low R.7, PR64 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. The obverse displays a Liberty cap surrounded by a glory of rays with LIBERTY on the band, a motif reminiscent of the various Mexican silver coins of one to eight reales and fractions thereof that appeared in 1824. The reverse shows 1 and D. on two lines enclosed by a graceful palm frond, with the date below and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the rim. Struck in copper with a plain edge, and gilt. The copper pieces are believed to be restrikes and only a dozen or so are known. This is a bright yellow-gold example that resembles a gold striking, just lacking the depth of mirroring one would see on a proof gold coin.

Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 11275, Greysheet# 11986)
