Description

This entry covers early NGC-certified examples of the 1838 Gobrecht dollar pattern restrike that were encapsulated before NGC began routinely designating specific Judd numbers. These specimens, struck on silver planchets with a reeded edge and measuring 38.1mm in diameter, represent later productions from the original Christian Gobrecht dies. The restrikes were manufactured at the Philadelphia Mint during the late 1850s and 1860s as the numismatic market expanded. Collectors should consult the individual Judd-numbered entries for specific variety identification, die orientation, and rarity information.
