Lot 1166
1836 Pattern Dollar. Silver, plain edge. PCGS graded Proof 61 Original Coin Alignment. Lovely golden toning with some blue colors. Popular C. Gobrecht Dollar. Both sides display the typical "look" for this rare 1836 delivery: smoothly mirrorlike Proof surfaces, rolling sparkle effects from light striking it at different angles, and boldly struck devices. In fact, the strike is strong, with clear definition to the high points such as the hair waves and shoulder clasp, the shield lines and drapery folds, and, on the reverse, the starry field along with the eagle's pleasurable display of feathery plumage. The toning hits us right as well, thereby increasing the beauty immensely. The one should fetch a very high bid for its perfect combination of nice quality and aesthetic appeal. Pop 20; 71 finer; 35 in 62; 23 in 63; 13 in 64. (PCGS # 11225) .
Estimated Value $20,000 - 22,000.
