I actually wrote my initial summery article for Coin Week ([URL]https://coinweek.com/counterfeits/struck-counterfeit-coin-week-repaired-1836-gobrecht-dollar-1-page-attribution-guide/[/URL]) back in the summer of 2017 and had documented 8 different examples at the time. One of the known examples showed up for sale on a FB selling site in 2018 and was removed and sent back to the TPG for review (and purchased under their guarantee). This example is a “new discovery” from my initial article and I found it in a lunch time search today. I notified both the seller and my contact at the TPG; the cert was “killed” and the seller ended the auction… Images include this example with circles at the common main attribution marks, the illustration of the atts from my research and an image illustrating the progression of a counterfeit from the genuine holed to repaired source coin to the last example documented (prior to this one) from a Chinese seller.
