About the 1804 Dollar
The famous 1804-dated dollars were first struck in the 1830s for diplomatic presentation sets, rather than in the year shown on their faces. The Smithsonian records eight examples of this original group, now known as Class I dollars. A celebrated set was presented to the King of Siam in 1836, connecting the coin with American diplomacy and trade. Later issues added to its complicated history and enduring fascination for collectors. This modern overstrike recalls the Draped Bust design with its own 2024 date.
- Weight: 12.50 Grams (90% AG, 10% CU)
- Obverse: Draped bust Lady Liberty facing right with stars to the left and right, “LIBERTY” above and the date (2024) below.
- Reverse: “OVERSTRIKE SERIES” above and below the obverse image of the 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar with the Intaglio Mint Logo flanked by stars on the left and right. “1964 KENNEDY HALF,” “12.50 GRAMS,” TOTAL MINTAGE: 250,” “90% AG,” and “10% CU” around the outer circumference.
Note to collectors: Because this product is overstruck on another coin that has spent 60 years in circulation, each item will be unique and have its own characteristics. Some will be brighter than others, and the position of the devices, both overstruck and original will also differ from one to another.
