1836. Designer's name on base. Circulation issue. PCGS graded Proof Good-6. A very nice coin for the moderate grade, perhaps this was a pocket piece or something similar as the surfaces show straightforward wear and aren't banged up as much as one would expect on a coin of this moderate grade. No rim bumps or other detractions can be seen in the PCGS holder.
Breen notes that 600 of these were released into circulation by the Bank of the United States at the time of issue, and some, like this coin, obviously circulated for many years. Only 1,000 were coined of this die alignment.
Estimated Value $3,000-3,500.
