Designed by Robert Scot. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 27 grams, 40 mm in diameter, with a lettered: hundred cents one dollar or unit edge. Cataloged as PCGS #6876. The Draped Bust Dollar continued the silver dollar series with an elegant design attributed to Gilbert Stuart. The 1804 Draped Bust Dollar is one of the most famous and valuable coins in existence.
