1836 Gobrecht Dollar original

Hey guys,

I've been very fortunate to handle a lot of nice coins recently. Here's my favorite - an 1836 Gobrecht pattern dollar. These coins were the first of the legendary Seated Liberty design, and some of the first to welcome the steam press to the US Mint.

Anyway, I always welcome comments and opinions. Also, I could explain about this coin but prefer our members to use this as an opportunity to read about themselves.

Live it up !

That coin is most marvelously beautiful. The thought of the cost of adding that to my collection is stultifying. Thanks for the look Rick.......

 

Did you buy it?

 

wow! nice. I almost got the same type on ebay.

 

Whats the grade?

 

That's the last place on earth that I'd seek such a coin.........

 

It was a chance find im not even sure if it was real. But the buyer seemed happy for $170 and left no bad feedback for the seller.

 

I rest my case........

 

That coin is pure sex!! I wish!

 

That's a very pretty Gobrecht Dollar... love the color and look.

 

Congrats on one GREAT piece of Americana! I'd keep that one thru hell or high water till death do us part! Perfect piece,thanx again!

 

This is my favorite coin design. It's why I like the flying eagle cent so much. That is one awesome coin 900

 

I wouldn't turn my nose up at it, to be sure, but I distinctly prefer the design of the 1839 version. Is this one of the medal alignment strikes or is it coin alignment?

 

Very nice coin. I imagine such a coin would be the crown jewel to many collections.

 

I could reduce my whole coin collection down to just that one coin. Well, maybe, a couple more but that would be it. Nice coin.

 

The placement of the PCGS gasket around the coin allows one to determine the orientation. It has a coin alignment with the eagle flying upward.

 

A beautiful coin! Thanks for sharing

 

What an awesome piece of American history! In a word, it's just smooth.

BTW, here's my proprietary method to ruin nice type coins for little to no reason, or how to make a really ugly mule:

1) Get a no stars seated dime
2) Get a flying eagle cent
3) File cent down ~1.1mm in diameter
4) Duct tape together
5) Enjoy at a fraction of the cost!

Electroplating with mercury is optional, as is lathing each coin for appropriate thickness of final product

 

A real beauty!


I would guess at an XF-45.
