Well, kind of! It's not actually a distinct set in the Set Registry [yet! ] but it is in the Redbook. At the ANA I acquired the last coin I need to complete my Redbook Gobrecht set:
Coin #1: 1836 Name under Base. ex: Eliasberg. PCGS PF65. A beautiful coin with hard, deep mirrors and light iridescent grey toning. Extremely rare variety with perhaps a dozen or so known.
Coin #2: 1836 Name on Base, Issue of 1836. PCGS PF64. Super PQ with light iridescent golden toning. Only a few stray hairlines prevent the gem grade. Outstanding eye appeal. Original mintage 1,000.
Coin #3: 1836 Name on Base, Issue of 1837. PCGS PF65. One of the nicest Gobrechts of any date/variety I've ever seen. Beautifully toned in person, with very deep mirrors and not a single distraction. Original mintage 600.
Coin #4: 1838 Name removed from Base. ex: Amon Carter. PCGS PF64. Stunningly toned mainly in blue on the obverse and iridescent rainbow colors on the reverse. A few lines on the reverse prevent the gem grade, but the mirrors are hard and deep and the eagle cameo.
Coin #5: 1839 Name removed from Base. ex: Norweb. PCGS PF65. Absolutely original, though slightly dark, multicolored iridescent toning graces near perfect surfaces. Original mintage 300.
