PCGS 1836 Gobrecht Dollar, Judd-60 Restrike, PR 62. Die Alignment III. Breen- 5414, Julian-11. A restrike from Mint Director Snowden's tenure and struck around the same time as the Class II and III 1804 dollars, "Transitional" half dimes and dimes, and other items he manufactured as "trade bait" to use to enlarge the Mint's collection of U.S. coins and medals. Probably only 20-40 pieces are known, and this is surely one of the finest examples extant. The fields are deeply mirrored, and although obviously hairlined, the surfaces possess a charm and beauty few Gobrechts have in any grade. The centers are toned a warm golden-brown that turns to a deep scarlet, then cobalt-blue toward the rims. A significant coin and sure to be of interest to advanced type collectors. This lovely piece is also a part of the fabulous David Faraday Collection. Mr. Faraday purchased the coin over twenty years ago from Bill Mitkoff at the NCNA show on September 14, 1973 for $3,200.
