Lot 1106
1836 Gobrecht Dollar. Designer's name on base. Circulation issue. NGC graded Proof 63 PQ, Rarity 1. Lovely blue and golden toning. Proof Gobrecht Dollars from this year are estimated to have been originally produced for circulation, even though struck in Proof finish, and of the number of survivors a liberal group are circulated. Choice Proofs like this are all too un-common nowadays. This specimen shows the diagnostic razor-sharpness in all features including the shield, and the reverse is struck an intricately prepared die that the Philadelphia Mint used to produce what many consider to be the most beautiful silver dollar ever issued in the United States. The watery reflectivity is unabated, interrupted only now and then by a few wispy hairlines underneath the lovely toning. The coin's originality and lack of injury should attract spirited bidding. Pop 18; 8 finer; 6 in 64; 2 in 65. (PCGS # 11227) .
Estimated Value $38,000 - 40,000.
Ex: Share Collection.
