Gobrecht Dollar

The rarity of the Gobrecht Dollar is greater than any known dollar coin known to man, with all years 1836-1839 with a mintage of 1800 coins per year.Trends for this coin in proof condition range from $100,000 to $500,000.For Christmas i got my only present which costed me my half life savings of $15,000 and my only present for this year.A 1836 P Gobrecht Dollar in XF condition I keep this coin in a safe and only take it out for special occasions.What special coins did you get for Christmas?

HOLY MOLY!
May we please see pics of this magnificent coin?

 

its a 1836 dollar not 1838 but here are the pics:

 

EDIT: Poster Changed Pics

 

At first you showed this picture of "your" coin;

Then you changed them to what you have now. Funny how when I type in 1836 Gobrecht dollar, I get the two pictures you have shown on the very first page.
I know that a coin like the ones you have showed don't sell for $15,000.
I'd be interested in knowing where you got this coin from.

 

my dad got it at an auction ,here its 12:21 and every one is sleeping so i cant really use the scanner right now so im uesing pics of the dollar at the same grade to give an idea before i can scan it

 

So this coin is not yours, at all? All coins are different, you cannot simply find pictures of coins that are "similar" to those that you own. What you are doing is wrong, taking photos that are coins that belong to some one else and calling the coin your own.
I'd also like to know if this is the same thing you are doing with all those 1943 Copper and 1944 Steel cents that you own as well. (Because the same pictures you can find on google images, are the same photos you see in your gallery)
It is very very hard, although not impossible, to believe that you do in fact, own these coins.

 

:loud:Thats not what im saying i am not claiming other peoples coins as mine !!! The coins mentioned above are in my family's collection, the dollar is mine and graded by pcgs.

 

May I ask one question? Why did you delete all the copper and steel lincolns in your album.
You had a 1944 P and S Steel and a 1943 P and S Copper. Were these coins yours too?

 

1.I don't want other people to say the same thing.
2.I have a 1943 s copper and a 1944 s steel cent the 2 other mints of each coins are in my dad's collection.

 

Regardless of whether you own the coin or not, your post is factually incorrect.

1. Mintages were not 1800 per year
2. Proof is a method of manufacture not a grade.
3. Some Gobrechts are worth over $100,000, most are not.
4. The Gobrecht is not even close to the rarest dollar coin known to man. That distinction would belong to the "King of US Coins" shown below.

Notice the grade. Even though the coin has wear, it is still a proof coin.

 

The 1804 isn't the rarest either. It gets beat out by the 1870-S dollar (either 9 or 11 known), the 1884 trade dollar (10 Known) and the 1885 trade dollar (5 known) And then of course there is the 1866 no motto dollar (2 known) and the 1851-O dollar (Unique).

The 1804 is just the most expensive. Especially the Class I coins.

 

And the proof Bust Dollars from 1801, 1802 and 1803 are rarer than the 1804 as well.

 

Gobrecht Dollar. A truly beautiful design....especially the reverse. Would love to see some photos of yours Error Hunter.

 

I wonder how much money it takes to collect the series.

 

If you gotta ask then you can't.........oh never mind.

 

Do you want a set of originals, restrikes, or both?

 

both original and restrikes are rare so yeah

 

I bet thats a great coin...looking forward tot he pictures.
