The 1839 Gobrecht obverse combined with the reverse of 1836.
This is a fantasy restrike in die alignment III. It was made sometime in the late 1860s to mid 1870s along with the unique copper example of J109/P122. For additional information on this and all copper Gobrecht dollars, click here.
All examples show die cracks through "NITED STATES O"

and through the "OLLA" in "DOLLAR".

and also a raised die mark (rust?) between the left and right base of the "A" in "States".

Only 2 examples are known to exist today as follows.
1) Parmelee, DeWitt Smith, H.O. Granberg, Brand #92343, Bowers and Merena's Brand I, Share collection, ANR 1/04, southern collection, Simpson - PCGS64, illustrated above.
2) W.W.C. Wilson, Brand #90920, Stacks 8/41 Opezzo sale lot 1790, Boyd?, Farouk, Lohr, Miles, Stacks 9/78, Dr. Korein, ANS - NGC62.
The listing in Pollock for a silver example with reeded edge P120 is unconfirmed and doubtful.
The unique copper example of J109/P122 is ex Gschwend, Brand, Opezzo lot 1791, Dr Judd. It was offered in several Abe Kosoff and Sol Kaplan Fixed Price Lists in the late 1960s and has not been seen since.
