Lot 1661
1839 Pattern Dollar. Silver, reeded edge. . Judd-104. Pollock-116 Rarity-3. PCGS graded Proof 61. Die Alignment IV. No Name on Obverse and No Stars On Reverse. A white and flashy specimen with full features and only moderate hairlines, a general characteristic of Gobrecht dollars who seem to chronically display remnants of improper cleaning. Some light flaking has occurred in the planchet just above the knee in the field. A scarce to rare issue that the researchers and authors of www.uspatterns.com consider to be a regular issue coin rather than a pattern. While originals were struck in Die Alignment IV in 1839, this specimen displays the fine die crack atop MERI of AMERICA, indicating this specimen is indeed a restrike. Destined to bring strong bidding as it is another fine representation of the discipline and focus used in collecting this fabulous group of Gobrecht dollars. PCGS population of 4 in PR-61 with 29 finer.
Estimated Value $25,000 - 30,000.
