Reading Gobrecht

KlectorKid

Does anyone know of good books or websites about Gobrecht dollars? I Find them quite interesting and would like to learn more about them.

How about Dave Bower's book on silver dollars. He gives the history and has some different theories about which coins are "originals" and which ones are "restrikes."

There's also some good info in the Redbook though it does'nt go into great detail, it's a good summery nonetheless.

Thanks for the info. Any more ideas?

Go to the PCGS home page and click on Coin Guide. A report is there under early dollars with future reference material on page 3!

KK,

You should join the Liberty Seated Collectors Club. Membership entitles you to the Gobrecht Journal, which covers all Seated denominations as well as Trade Dollars. Back issues can be found typically in the "Collective" Volumes, and will have articles on Gobs.

Excellent advice from everyone. These coins are phenomenal and very historic. I highly recommend them. I am still trying to save for one. They are not cheap. Just think of a huge flying eagle cent and the price to go along with it.
