<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andy, post: 89452, member: 645&quot;]Now back to the thread about obscure coin facts.</p><p>Here is one that I got off of <a href="http://www.coinfacts.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfacts.com" rel="nofollow">www.coinfacts.com</a></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The 1804 Silver Dollar is one of the rarest and most popular of all American coins, despite the fact that none were made until 1834 and several were even made many years after that!&nbsp; Mint reports from 1804 show a delivery figure of 19,570 Silver Dollars, but numismatists believe these were all leftover coins dated 1803.&nbsp; Certain qualities of the known 1804 Silver Dollars (and other facts concerning their history) indicate that the first 1804 Silver Dollars were struck in or about 1834, when orders came from the State Department for special sets of coins to be struck for diplomatic purposes.&nbsp; Later restrikes were made sometime after 1857 &quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
