Strikings & Recorded Mintages
The 1836 Gobrecht dollar is not one coin with one mintage. The catalogue records two separate strikings struck to two different legal standards, plus later restrikes. Each is listed below with its own figure and its own source — deliberately not combined or averaged into a single number.
- #Original standard (KM# 59.1)1,000 struck
26.96 g, .8924 fine silver — the pre-1837 standard
The larger of the two 1836 strikings. Catalogued as a distinct type from the .900 fine coin below.
Source: Numista N#22797
- #Revised standard (KM# 59a.1-59a.4)600 struck
26.73 g, .900 fine silver — the revised standard
Catalogued on a separate type page covering 1836-1839. Its 600 figure is NOT an alternative estimate of the 1,000 above: the two describe different coins, distinguished by weight and fineness.

- #Restrike (KM# 59.2) — eagle flying in plain field
Listed by the catalogue as a restrike with no recorded mintage. Further restrikes are noted as existing but are not individually catalogued.
