(1836) Dollar Die Trial - J-A1836-5
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
Struck in white metal or pewter, this obverse die trial is for the Judd-60 Gobrecht dollar of 1836, which has the engraver's name, C. GOBRECHT F., on the rock. The 1976 ANA sale catalog states it was struck from the fifth obverse, the second working die, in December 1836, and it is probably the lead trial without a reverse that Edward Cogan sold in 1862. A second example is in the Library Company of Philadelphia; Judd once listed that piece separately as J-A1836-6 because it seemed to show drapery over the shield, but John Dannreuther found the lines were scratches. Thomas Sully sketched the seated Liberty and Titian Peale the flying eagle used on the dollar's reverse.
