<B>1836 $1 Judd-60 Original, Medal Alignment PR40 PCGS.</B></I> Silver. Plain Edge. Die Alignment IV (head of Liberty opposite the letters OF). This piece appears to be an early die state, and we only see the rim marker above the A in STATES. This piece was produced in March 1837 along with the Die Alignment II coins. Therefore, this coin represents an original issue Gobrecht dollar. This conclusion is also consistent with the amount of wear present. It appears this coin circulated for several years before it was recognized as a rare and valuable coin. There is even wear over the highpoints. The surfaces are original and uncleaned with lighter centers and gradually deepening gray patina toward the margins.<BR><I>From The John Stimson, Sr. Collection, Part Two.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
