1804 (W) Draped Bust Dollar Gold Coin (2026 Best of the Mint)

Coin Details

Description

The 2026 Best of the Mint 1804 Dollar Gold Coin reproduces the legendary 1804 Draped Bust Dollar — the "King of American Coins" — in one full ounce of 99.99% pure gold. Robert Scot's obverse features the classic Draped Bust of Liberty facing right, surrounded by stars and the date 1804. The reverse displays a heraldic eagle with shield, olive branch, and arrows. The original 1804 Silver Dollars, of which only 15 are known across three classes, are among the most famous and valuable coins in numismatic history. Class I specimens were actually struck in 1834-35 as diplomatic gifts. Struck at the West Point Mint with the Liberty Bell "250" privy mark commemorating America's Semiquincentennial, this gold reproduction makes the iconic design accessible to modern collectors. The companion one-ounce silver medal, designed and sculpted by Joseph V. Noorigian, features a fresh interpretation of Liberty with flowing hair and an eagle soaring above Earth.
