1836 Gobrecht Dollar, PR62
Judd-60 Original, Die Alignment IV

1836 P$1 Name on Base, Judd-60 Original, Pollock-65, R.1, PR62 PCGS. Silver. Plain Edge. Die Alignment IV (center of Liberty's head opposite the right side of F in OF). Die State F. This die state shows faint evidence of a die scratch through the O in ONE, another faint die scratch below the D in DOLLAR, and a rim nick above the A in STATES, a die chip in the dentils above and slightly right of the R in DOLLAR, and various other earlier die state attributes. This dollar was certified a number of years ago, before the diagnostics were clearly understood for Originals and Restrikes. As stated on the DTS website for Die Alignment IV dollars: "Originals were struck in alignments I, II, and IV. If you have an alignment IV, it is an Original regardless of what the holder says." Each side is virtually mark-free. The fields retain considerable flash still from the proof mirroring, evident even through the light, even gray patina. Population: 41 in 62 (2 in 62+), 38 finer (12/22). Ranked #69 on the List of 100 Greatest US Coins.
Ex: San Francisco Signature (Heritage, 3/2014), lot 10464, where it sold for $22,325, where it was cataloged as an Original even though it was incorrectly labeled as a Restrike.
