<B>1836 $1 Judd-60 Original, Medal Alignment PR62 PCGS.</B></I> Silver. Die Alignment II (center of Liberty's head opposite ES in STATES). One of the so-called Second Original strikings from March 1837. The die scratch above the eagle's wing is easily seen without a magnifier. This die scratch is the identifier for originals, as restrikes from the 1850s, 1860s, and 1870s had the die scratch polished from the die prior to striking. These pieces represent approximately 20% of the mintage of 600 coins from this striking period. Often seen circulated and with the same frequency as the Issue of 1836.<BR> The eye appeal of this piece far exceeds the PR62 grade. The fields are deeply mirrored on each side. Perhaps what is most appealing about this coin is the splendid, multicolored toning that is spread irregularly around the margins on each side. Hairlines explain the PR62 grade.<BR><I>Ex: Dartmouth Sale (Kingswood Galleries, 2/1991), lot 6910.<BR>From The John Stimson, Sr. Collection, Part One.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
