Lot Title: 1836 "Original Coin Alignment", Judd-60, Pollock-65, R.1. PCGS Proof, Genuine.
Description: According to the PCGS Genuine-91 code (slab serial number 11225.91/16656692), "questionable color" is the reason for refusing to supply a market grade. Not much examination is necessary to realize that none of the original luster remains on the obverse.

Close scrutiny suggests that there were field defects previously distracting to the eye. A copper-colored spot above "18" in date seems most curious, no doubt an errant drip from the chemical used to induce the tone. Many Gobrecht dollars have been injured over the years, and it is quite possible that this one now looks better than it did before.

Even without a remnant of luster with which to aid a judgment in grade, this is still a coin that hardly circulated, as can be seen by the details on both main devices. Liberty shows scarcely any wear on the high points, and even then, additional wear may have been inescapably caused by the abrasion process. The reverse is nicer, with the eagle also showing the lightest signs of wear.
