This great rarity comes in Alignments III and IV. The Alignment IV coins are now thought to be original strikes, according to Dannreuther in Van Winkle. The Alignment IV is thus possibly much rarer than the Alignment III, but there is no population study published. Bowers reports 28 total inclusive of both die states.
Die alignment IV, eagle level. No stars in reverse field, reeded edge, silver. NGC3010041.001 “PF 64”. No die cracks in reverse lettering at MERI or ONE. Small (light) die crack at the top of the letters between TE of UNTIED under 20x. Also, there is an apparent remainder of the bottoms of the letters of Gobrecht’s name in the tablet above the date, showing what appears to be the base of letters with serifs, as if the name was incompletely removed from the die. Stunning patina with light blue and rose toning. This coin is in a plastic holder, and needs to be removed to further study the fine details. -62089
