The unprecedented crossover underscores his personal efforts to combat “grade inflation.”
Originals struck with coin-turn die alignment, a situation complicated by some restrikes also having the same alignment. An example plainly struck over an 1859 dated regular-issue gold dollar confirms that restrikes were made. J-69 to J-71 are restrikes made circa 1859 and later. • J-67: dies aligned coin-turn. • J-68: dies aligned medal-turn; struck for pattern purposes in January 1844.
