1836 PS$1 Name on Base, Judd-60 Restrike,
<table><tr><td><table><tr><td>1836 PS$1 Name on Base, Judd-60 Restrike, Pollock-65, R.5, PR63 PCGS. Die Alignment IV. Plain Edge. Silver. Rarity-1 (600 coins minted in March 1837). The head of Liberty is nearly opposite the F in OF, with the eagle flying approximately level after a medallic turn (rotation around the coin's vertical axis)--Walter Breen's definition of Die Alignment IV. This coin is technically a restrike because it was made in a year (1837) that differs from its date (1836); however, it is part of the official mintage of March 1837; and is commonly referred to as the "second original" issue. The term "first original" is reserved for those Gobrecht Dollars made in December 1836, and are found with Die Alignment I. All of the Gobrecht Dollars made in 1837 were deposited with the Bank of the United States for public distribution; and consequently, most of the Die Alignment IV coins are found in circulated condition. Very few Die Alignment IV coins are know to exist in high grades. The specimen offered here displays a modest degree of reflectivity under steel-gray and charcoal toning that is a few shades lighter on the reverse. The strike is needle sharp and only under close scrutiny can a few wispy signs of contact be detected. The always impressive Gobrecht Dollar is of considerable importance to collectors of pattern, type coins, and silver dollars, and the high quality of this piece only adds to its desirability. Population: 20 in 63, 6 finer (3/04). <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. <BR><BR><B>IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RESERVES:</B> Heritage now divulges all reserves on its web site 7 days before every auction.
