1838 Gobrecht Silver Dollar. Name Removed. Judd-84 Restrike, Pollock-93. Rarity-5. Silver. Reeded Edge. Die Alignment III. Proof-64 (NGC).,This brilliant finish example is veiled in delicate smoky-silver and olive-russet iridescence, the warmest patina confined to the peripheries. Libertys portrait and the eagle are fully defined, the obverse stars lacking centrils and the reverse a bit soft at the border outside the letters in the legend and denomination. Solidly in the Choice category, this is a desirable example of the rarest date in the challenging and enigmatic Gobrecht dollar series. Dannreuther Reverse Die State c, early with cracks through the tops of the letters ITE in UNITED and MERI in AMERICA only and no evidence of the die spur on the letter D in the former word.<p>For the collector assembling a complete date set of Gobrecht dollars the 1838 will likely prove to be the most challenging to acquire. While traditional numismatic wisdom states that a small number of originals were struck that year in Die Alignment I, modern scholarship has discounted this theory. In fact, no Die Alignment I examples of this date are known to exist. The Die Alignment I-II reverse die cup was already starting to deteriorate on late die state 1836 Gobrecht dollars, so it seems likely that the Mint simply abandoned it in favor of the Die Alignment IV cup when it came to striking the 1838 coins. An example of this issue in Die Alignment IV is part of the National Numismatic Collection in the Smithsonian Institution, confirming that this is the alignment used to strike originals of this date. Those coins were made as patterns to illustrate the revised Gobrecht dollar design with 13 stars added to the obverse periphery and the 26 stars omitted from the reverse field.<p>Original 1838 Gobrecht dollars were exceedingly rare in their time, as they are now, leading the Mint to create restrikes for sale to contemporary collectors. These pieces were struck in both Die Alignment III and IV and display light cracks through some of the peripheral letters. This is just such a coin, and it represents the most prevalent die state of the issue. Since these restrikes were produced and distributed clandestinely we have no idea how many were made. Survivors are rare, however, and with market appearances usually few and far between the present offering deserves serious bidder consideration.,PCGS# 11352.,,
