Lot Description

Korein 61. 414.4 grains. DTS Die State E. An obvious original striking of this Judd number, this Gobrecht dollar saw light commercial use before being preserved for future generations. Trivial high point rub hardly detracts from design elements that remain sharp in most areas. Ample remnants of the satin to semi-reflective finish for which this issue is known are readily appreciable as the coin rotates under a light. Lightly toned in iridescent golden-gray, wispy hairlines and other faint marks are noted, but none are unduly distracting during in-hand viewing.<p>Our current offering of the Korein Gobrecht dollars from the ANS Collection features each of the three Die Alignments attributed to the original 1,000-coin mintage of December 1836. The Die Alignment IV piece in the present lot will excite both series specialists and type collectors seeking a single example of this iconic 19th century silver dollar design.
