Gobrecht Journal, the Publication of the Liberty Seated Collector Club

The Gobrecht Journal is research orientated and contains articles on all denominations of Liberty Seated coinage, from the half dime to the Trade dollar. The E-Gobrecht contains information of a more timely nature, such as recent auction sales, LSCC regional meeting announcements and exhibits and feature articles on new variety discoveries. Major research and feature article topics in the Gobrecht Journal include:

- Rarity & valuation of specific dates and varieties in each of the series
- Obverse and reverse die pairs used to strike particular issues
- 19th century minting processes and how unusual pieces were struck
- Retrospectives on important seated collections and collectors

The LSCC is pleased to announce the publication of color covers, beginning with Gobrecht Journal #100 in November, 2007. Our latest issue (#107, March 2010) features on its cover the fabulous 1876 trade dollar from the Legend Collection.
