<Our item number 139430><B>1836 Pattern Dollar. Silver, plain edge. NGC graded Proof 63.</B> This is the desirable plain edge variety, with C. Gobrecht F[ecit] on base. The masterful design is Gobrecht&#39;s rendition of an amalgam of a drawing by Thomas Sully &#40;the seated figure of Liberty&#41; and Gobrecht&#39;s own eagle flying horizontally to the left on the reverse in a field of stars. This most affordable Gobrecht date was believed to be restruck sometime in the late 1850s. The surface is deeply toned yet still nicely reflective -- collectors call this effect &#34;watery&#34; as opposed to just smooth. Struck with exacting scientific precision on the figure of Liberty and her shield as well as the eagle&#39;s plumage. Each of the 26 stars around the eagle shows incredible sharpness. Put a glass to the coin, then step back for a second and ponder the fact this handsome coin was struck more than a hundred and fifty years ago! <B>Pop 17; 7 finer; 5 in 64; 2 in 65.</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 11227&#41;</B>. <BR> Estimated Value &#36;30,000 - 35,000. <I><BR>Ex: Share Collection.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 139430<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/48jpegs/139430.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/48jpegs/139430N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
