The Chinese Foreign Ministry has not&nbsp; provided all details regarding the supposedly unique piece, but has&nbsp; announced the existence of heretofore unheard of historical documents&nbsp; that relate to U.S. silver dollars from the 1830s.</p><p>&nbsp;<img src="http://www.coinlink.com/News/images/1805_dollar_040108.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />It&nbsp; is already widely accepted that Proof Sets of U.S. copper, silver and&nbsp; gold coins were produced as diplomatic gifts during 1834 and/or 1835.&nbsp; These sets were prepared under the direct orders of <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/aj7.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/aj7.html" rel="nofollow">President Andrew Jackson</a>.&nbsp; All the coins included were dated 1834 except the 1804 silver dollar&nbsp; and the 1804 Eagle ($10 gold coin). U.S. Mint officials wrongly believed&nbsp; that there was a need to depict the date of the last year in which&nbsp; coins of these two denominations were actually minted for circulation.&nbsp; (Silver dollars struck in 1804 were dated 1803.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
