UNITED STATES: AR dollar, 1836, Judd-60, "Gobrecht Dollar Pattern", original strike, an attractive proof example with original deep toning, PCGS graded Proof 62. Judd-60 features the same design as on J-58/59, but the engravers signature C. GOBRECHT F. (for fecit, or "he made it") has been discretely relocated onto Libertys base where it is less conspicuous, and the letters are incuse. The first emission of 1836 was produced to the pre-1837 standard for fineness and weight, with 1,000 pieces coined. The dies are inverted in the normal "coin rotation" typical of United States issues, and the eagle correctly flies upward, with the legend stops balanced on a single horizontal plane.
