Lot Description

FROM THE GLORIOUS PATTERNS COLLECTION PART II Judd-60. The 1836 Original Gobrecht dollars were actually struck for circulation. It is estimated about 1,000 were struck, the first dollar coins struck for commerce since the denomination was halted in 1804. Gobrecht's seated Liberty with C. Gobrecht F. on base, no stars on the obverse and an eagle flying upward in a field of stars. This pleasing example saw plenty of problem free circulation. Even silver-dove gray in the fields show splashes of darker patina. The eye appeal is very pleasing. Ex Cathedral West Collection, Heritage, June 2014, lot 4621; our June 2015 Regency Auction, lot 474; our consignor. PCGS 9, NGC 12. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $14,250. This is a superb, circulated Gobrecht and a great coin for those who have ever dreamed of owning one that won't break the budget! This coin will make an outstanding addition to any collection! Cert.
