1836 First Steam Coinage. Bronzed Copper. 28 mm. By Christian Gobrecht. Julian MT-21. About Uncirculated.；Choice glossy brown surfaces with just a hint of reflectivity. No problems with the finish or planchet save a few tiny rim nicks exposing the bright copper beneath the bronzing. The thickness of the planchet and the obverse rim cud at 7 oclock place this as a mid-19th century strike. Close examination reveals traces of the originally intended FEB. 22 below the revised MAR. 23 date. Choice and appealing.；
