Description

The 1839 Gobrecht Dollar - J-104 Restrike is a proof dollar struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Gobrecht Dollars (1836-1839) series. The obverse features Liberty seated on a rock, holding a pole surmounted by a Phrygian liberty cap in her left hand and a shield inscribed LIBERTY in her right without stars and the reverse displays an eagle in flight amid a field of stars. The final Gobrecht Dollars were struck, transitioning to the standard Seated Liberty Dollar in 1840. Restrikes from the 1850s-1860s with misaligned dies are more commonly encountered than originals. As a proof issue, this coin was struck multiple times on specially prepared polished planchets using polished dies, producing mirror-like fields and frosted design elements prized by collectors. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value is approximately $47K. Struck in other, weighing 26.73 grams, 38.1 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #11446.
