 1836 Gobrecht Dollar. Name on Base. Eagle Flying Amid Stars. Judd 60. Silver, Plain Edge. Die Alignment I. Original. Brilliant Proof. Surfaces are bright and silvery, perhaps due to a past light dipping. A small pinscratch in the neck and a reverse rim bump are noted at 7:00. Well struck with some Proof sparkle remaining in the fields and protected areas of the devices. Here is a lovely example of one of the original 1,000 pieces struck in December of 1836 for circulation purposes. These coins, until recently were considered patterns, but are now generally considered regularly issued coins and are avidly collected as such.
