About This Coin
The 1838 Dollar Patterns page groups the 1838 Gobrecht dollar, with 13 stars around Liberty and none on the reverse (J-84), and later strikings from the same obverse: silver and copper pieces with plain edges, some paired with the starry 1836 reverse (J-85 to J-90). uspatterns.com lists only two originals of J-84, dates the plain-edge and copper pieces to the late 1860s and 1870s, and regards the reeded-edge copper listings J-86 and J-90 as misdescriptions.
