<p>[QUOTE=&quot;giorgio11, post: 1505002, member: 17094&quot;]There were 16 states in the Union once Tennessee joined on June 1, 1796, hence the numerous 16 star obverses. Afterward the Mint (unlike the Chinese) realized they couldn&#039;t keep adding stars so they reverted to 13 stars. Ohio joined in 1803 so there were 17 states in 1804. But oh wait, the genuine 1804 Original silver dollars were struck around 1835 (the reported 19,570 pieces were dated 1803 or earlier). By then there were 24-25 states in the Union.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
