1836 Gobrecht Dollar Struck in Gold!

I've always liked these pattern gold dollars. This example is especially cool because you can clearly see the undertype: an 1859 gold dollar! And yes, it's by Gobrecht.

    Does it get any cooler than this? Struck over a coin dated 23 years LATER!

    Sometimes I wonder what kind of designs were made yet didn't survive in pattern form. There had to be some, don't you think?

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Saw it a couple of days ago. Walked into a local pawn shop, believe it or not.

    Yes, it certainly does. I hadn't thought it would find a new home.
