An "affordable" Gobrecht.

Russ · January 26, 2007 5:18AM

Of course, affordable is a relative term. Not affordable for me, but less expensive than a higher graded example would be.

PCGS PR45. Enjoy!

Edit: OOPS! Linked the wrong coin the first time.

Awesome Gobrecht dollar!

Are you sure you never owned that coin Russ, there is a lot of rub on the breasts!!!

He got it for an hour

That's like saying it's less expensive than a more expensive example

Not necessarily. A lot of AU-58s are more expensive than MS-60s despite the latter being graded "higher" (at least numerically).

I saw one in a PCGS VF20 slab in 1998 that was quite a bit less than this one.

coachleonard · January 26, 2007 6:29AM

if i could find one that's FR-2 with a couple of holes, I might have a shot at one of these

DennisH · January 26, 2007 7:01AM

I'm jealous. That coin is on my "One of these days..." list of dream coins.

Come on, all that Modern Crap™ you've flipped for Obscene Profit™ and you can't spring for one of these?

I'd take one of these over (gobrechtValue / popTopAHKennedyValue) AH Kennedies any day.

While at heart, Russ is quite the capitalist and entrepeaneur... he is still a collector, and he keeps some of the best stuff that he cherrypicks, as does Marty. Both of them are very proud of their collections. Both of them relied on their own skills and knowledge to locate 99% of the coins in their collections. Neither of them have relied on a dealer to hand feed them "specially picked" coins...

410a · January 26, 2007 7:20AM

very very nice coin...............don't ya just love honest wear regardless?

tradedollarnut · January 26, 2007 7:38AM

I love Gobrechts - even worn, they look fantastic!

Colorfulcoins · January 26, 2007 8:02AM

Lowest grade I've seen in a PCGS slab is a PR6......danged low grade for a coin like this.

ziggy29 · January 26, 2007 8:07AM

<< Lowest grade I've seen in a PCGS slab is a PR6......danged low grade for a coin like this. >>

Funny thing is, I suspect that would be bid up rather highly in auction.

GAT · January 26, 2007 8:10AM

Russ is fibbing, it's a PR45 that he sold on eBay for 14k. I happened to run accross it about 15 minutes ago.

paulinhosong · January 26, 2007 8:10AM

Here is another affordable one, no reserve: 1836 gobrecht dollar superior elite auction

billboat · January 26, 2007 8:10AM

So--what is it selling for? Just curious?

paulinhosong · January 26, 2007 8:12AM

bidding is starting at $0 so far...

ricko · January 26, 2007 8:12AM

Very nice indeed.... Cheers, RickO

410a · January 26, 2007 8:13AM

Man oh man, you can't own every coin, but you can die trying.

Russ · January 26, 2007 8:14AM

<< Russ is fibbing, it's a PR45 that he sold on eBay for 14k. >>

Huh? What would I be fibbing about? BTW, it sold for $14,677.13 to be precise.

There is a one sided Gobrecht Dollar out there somewhere.
Someone sanded off the reverse, probably to make a love token out of.
Jonathon Kern had it in his inventory, maybe 15 years or so ago.
Seems like he wanted around $2500 for it.

Compucheap sold coin on Jan 14th

<< Compucheap sold coin on Jan 14th >>

Your point?

Russ, NCNE

GAT · January 26, 2007 8:28AM

None, except you had it at one time. Might have been a consignment, I don't know.

Russ · January 26, 2007 8:35AM

<< None, except you had it at one time. Might have been a consignment, I don't know. >>

It was a consignment.

Very, very cool coin Russ. Thanks for sharing!

rwyarmch · January 26, 2007 8:46AM

One of the many Heritage sales recently had an ANACS PR4 listed (and history on 4 others over the years). Used and much abused. Sales had ranged from $2400-3100 including the juice. The seller's reserve ......................$7000 plus the juice! Back into his pocket I guess.

stev32k · January 26, 2007 9:06AM

I believe the obverse of the Gobrecht is my all time favorite design. I've often wondered why the mint did not make a half-dollar with the same design? They made the dollar, dime and half-dime, but no half-dollar. Anybody know why?

TomB · January 26, 2007 10:30AM

Here is my PCGS PF10. I bought the piece a few years ago for substantially less than the current selling price of the 2006-W MS platinum four-coin set. I doubt you could find more than a handfull that are problem-free and attractive in this grade range and I would expect you would have to pay more, perhaps substantially more, today for them. By the way, could someone please PM goose3 to tell him to have a look at this thread?

Bochiman · January 26, 2007 10:40AM

<< Are you sure you never owned that coin Russ, there is a lot of rub on the breasts!!! >>

I don't think Russ is a breast man anyway...he is always linking to those "Men's Jeans" things on ebay......
