Description

NGC 1836 Gobrecht Dollar, Judd-60, AU 55. Die Alignment I (typically known as coin alignment), plain edge, struck in silver, the so-called original striking. Presumably one of the 1,000 struck in 1836. Deeply toned in olive and steel-blue colors. Some waviness is noted in the field beneath the eagle's belly on the reverse. The strike is nice, little wear is noted, and only a few light marks appear on either side. Long regarded as a pattern, modern researchers have decided that this issue was intended for circulation, as evidenced by the high number of circulated examples that are known. This beauty of this design, by Christian Gobrecht, coupled with the rarity of this issue, makes the Gobrecht dollar one of the most eagerly sought-after coins in all of numismatics.
