1836 Pattern Dollar. Silver, plain edge. Judd-60. Pollock-65. PCGS graded Proof 55. Restrike issue. An lightly toned example with flashy surfaces and lovely antique silver-gray toning with deeper blue and russet accents surrounding the devices. Always in demand. The surfaces are sweet and smooth, with no detracting marks and the eagles breast feathers are bold. The obverse depicts Liberty seated on a rock holding a pole in her left hand with a cap of freedom perched on top, her right hand supports a shield draped with a ribbon incribed LIBERTY. The entire obverse is free of legends otherwise, and the only device aside from Lady Liberty is the date below of 1836. On the reverse there is an eagle in full flight, flying level in a starry field, with small and large stars. Surrounding the stars and eagle is UNITED STATES OF AMERICA / ONE DOLLAR with stops in between the denomination. These were the first silver dollars struck for circulation since 1803, and although they were issued in tiny numbers the die was cast and in 1840 this series of silver dollars began production in earnest and these circulated more widely, although the designs were modified. This particular coin is quite impressive and desirable PCGS # 11227 Estimated Value 13,000 - UP
