Minted from 1836 to 1839, the Gobrecht Dollar was the first silver dollar produced for circulation since the denomination had officially been discontinued in 1806.  To determine if the reintroduced silver dollar denomination would be well received by the public, the Gobrecht Dollar was struck in small numbers.
Robert M. Patterson was appointed Mint Director in 1835 after Samuel Moore resigned the post.  Later that year, Chief Engraver William Kneass suffered a stroke, and Christian Gobrecht was hired as an engraver.
Almost immediately, Patterson began to attempt to redesign the nation’s coinage.  Philadelphia artist Thomas Sully received a letter from Patterson describing his plan for the dollar coin.  Patterson also asked Titian Peale to create a design for the coin.  Sully created an obverse design with a seated representation of Liberty and Peale, a reverse design depicting a soaring bald eagle.  These were both converted into coin designs by Gobrecht.  In September of 1836, after the trials were struck, production began on the working dies.
A small quantity was struck for circulation, and the Mint received complaints about the prominent positioning of Gobrecht’s name, which was centered on the base below the seated Liberty.  The design was then modified to move the engraver’s name to a less prominent position on the coin.  Additionally, in January of 1837, the legal standard for the percentage of precious metal in silver was changed from 89.2% to 90%, and Gobrecht dollars struck after this date reflected the change.
During the official production run, there were a total of 1,900 Gobrecht dollars struck.
In 1840, the Seated Liberty dollar, which used the same obverse design, began mintage.
Mint officials re-struck the Gobrecht dollar in the 1850s without authorization.
