Description

Struck in copper, this reverse die trial comes from the starred reverse of the 1836 Gobrecht dollar, Judd-60. It shows the flying eagle among stars, with partial die breaks through the letters NITED STATES O, and uspatterns judges that it was probably struck in the 1870s. Its pedigree runs from the Steigerwalt sales of 1884 and 1885 through the Woodin exhibit of 1914 to the Korein collection and the ANS. Titian Peale drew the flying eagle that Christian Gobrecht engraved.
