The present coin is mostly brilliant with deeply mirrored surfaces. Except for the first four obverse stars (counting clockwise from the left side), the coin is well struck, with repunching noted on stars 5 and 8.<BR>According to Walter Breen, there are four principal die alignment configurations for Gobrecht dollars. This particular coin exhibits a Die Alignment III orientation; that is, the head of Liberty is opposite the NE in ONE (coin turn with the eagle flying level). This is a rare situation for an 1839 dollar. In fact, most 1839 dollars seen today appear in Die Alignment IV. As late as 1993, David Bowers wrote in his encyclopedia on silver dollars that the existence of even a single specimen was not known. Subsequent research conducted by Michael Carboneau and James C. Gray has identified a small number of similar coins; however, the current population of 1839 dollars that exist in Die Alignment III is estimated to be fewer than 20 pieces. In contrast, more than 75% of all 1839 dollars offered for sale are found in Die Alignment IV. The present specimen also exhibits a faint die crack at the top of the letters MERI in AMERICA. Most of the high grade 1839 dollars (regardless of die alignment) are restrikes made during one of the three time periods: 1) during Snowden's term of office (1857 until July 1860 when he sealed the Gobrecht dollar dies in a box), 2) during Linderman's first term of office (from April 1867 to April 1869), or 3) during Linderman's second term of office (April 1873 to December 1878). The die alignment and the reverse die crack suggest that the present coin was probably struck during Linderman's second term of office. This 1839 dollar is very pleasing and should fit nicely in any high grade collection of early dollars or advanced collection of Gobrechts. </FONT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR><A name=PricesRealized></A><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" bgColor=#000000 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width="100%"><TABLE cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=3 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width="100%" bgColor=#79735c><A name=PR><FONT face=arial color=#ffffff size=3><B>Previous Prices from Heritage Auctions</B> </FONT></A></TD></TR><TR><TD bgColor=#f6f6ed>No Prior Data Recorded </TD></TR><TR><TD bgColor=#ffffff><FONT face=arial size=1 ?>PLEASE NOTE: All prices realized reflect the final hammer price PLUS the buyer's premium in auctions that charge a buyer's premium.

On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances.
