The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 6, February 4, 2001, Article 4

In his "Joys of Collecting" column in the February 12, 2001 COIN WORLD, Dave Bowers discusses "Mischief At The Mint" in 1859, concerning the restriking of patterns and other rare pieces.

"...private records, such as those kept in a personal notebook by George J. Eckfeldt, reveal that such items as 1836 Gobrecht dollars were restruck at this time. (The notebook is in the writer's possession and is expected to be published in facsimile, with modern annotations)."
