The Legendary 1804 Silver Dollar
Few American coins possess the mystique of the 1804 Silver Dollar.
Although bearing the date 1804, the famous examples known today were produced decades later, beginning in the 1830s. The coins were initially created for diplomatic presentation sets intended for foreign dignitaries, including the King of Siam and Sultan of Oman.
Today, only a tiny number of genuine 1804 Dollars are known, earning the issue legendary status among numismatists and making original specimens virtually unobtainable for all but the most advanced collections.
For America’s Semiquincentennial, the United States Mint selected this historic design as one of the celebrated coins in its Best of the Mint program.
One Ounce 24-Karat Gold 1804 Dollar
The centerpiece of the set is a spectacular one-ounce 24-karat gold coin recreating the historic 1804 Silver Dollar design.
The obverse depicts the classic Draped Bust portrait of Liberty, facing right with her hair bound by a ribbon and surrounded by 13 stars.
The reverse features the famous heraldic eagle with raised wings, a United States shield across its breast, arrows and an olive branch in its talons, and the inscription E PLURIBUS UNUM.
Adding a distinctly 2026 element is a special Liberty Bell “250” privy mark, commemorating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.
Even the edge pays tribute to the historic dollar, carrying the traditional denomination inscription associated with the original design.
One Ounce Silver Companion Medal
Accompanying the gold coin is a specially created one-ounce .999 fine silver medal inspired by the history and international journey of the legendary 1804 Dollar.
Rather than simply duplicating the gold coin, the companion medal incorporates artistic elements connecting the Draped Bust design with the diplomatic mission for which the original 1804-dated dollars became famous.
Together, the gold coin and silver medal create a modern interpretation of one of the most fascinating stories in American numismatic history.
Perfect NGC SP70 Certification
Both pieces in this offering have achieved the coveted NGC SP70 certification.
A 70 grade represents the highest numerical grade on the internationally recognized 70-point grading scale, making this an especially desirable presentation for collectors seeking premium-quality examples of this historic 2026 release.
Advanced Release Designation
Adding another layer of collectibility is the NGC Advanced Release designation.
Combined with perfect SP70 certification, the designation distinguishes this offering from standard certified examples and creates a premium presentation for collectors seeking a more specialized version of the 2026 issue.
Moy & Ryder Signature Labels
This set is further distinguished by labels featuring two former Directors of the United States Mint:
Edmund C. Moy – 38th Director of the United States Mint, serving from 2006 to 2011.
David J. Ryder – 34th and 39th Director of the United States Mint, having served as Mint Director during two separate administrations.
The Moy and Ryder signatures provide an additional connection to modern U.S. Mint history and complement the historic significance of the 1804 Dollar design.
Limited to Just 15,000 Sets (Total mint release in all grades)
The United States Mint established a maximum mintage of only 15,000 sets for the 2026 Best of the Mint 1804 Silver Dollar Gold Coin & Silver Medal Set.
That limited production is especially notable considering the historical importance of the 1804 Dollar and the nationwide celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.
