Description
Judd-107, Pollock-119. This restrike Gobrecht dollar pattern uses the 1839 dies designed by Christian Gobrecht and was struck in copper with a plain edge. The obverse presents Liberty seated upon a rock, clutching a pole topped by a liberty cap, while the reverse depicts an eagle in flight in a plain field. The original silver circulation strikes (Judd-104, rated R.3) were produced in medal rotation, an unusual choice for American coinage of the period. Restrikes from these dies exist in both the original medal-turn orientation and in standard coin rotation, with the eagle flying level in both cases. uspatterns.com records a single example, struck in die alignment III between the late 1860s and the mid-1870s, to sell to collectors. Reference data: struck in copper with a plain edge, rated unique. Catalogued as Judd-107, Pollock-119, Taxay EP118. alignment III believed struck circa 1875-1876.
