1838 Proof Dollar Pattern - J-90, Restrike

Coin Details

Description

This entry covers early NGC-certified examples of the 1838 Gobrecht dollar pattern restrike in copper that were encapsulated before NGC routinely assigned specific Judd numbers. At 38.1mm in diameter with a reeded edge, these copper off-metal restrikes share the iconic Seated Liberty obverse and Flying Eagle reverse created by Christian Gobrecht, widely considered among the finest designs in American numismatic history. The restrike production of these patterns continued into the 1860s under various Mint officials. Collectors should consult the individual Judd-numbered entries for precise attribution of die orientation and striking characteristics.
