In 1834, the U.S. Department of State ordered sets of coins to be minted as gifts to Asian rulers in exchange for trade advantages. The U.S. Mint created the special sets which included a silver dollar. As silver dollars were still in use but no longer being minted, the new coins were dated 1804, using the last known year of prior issue, despite being struck much later than that. Only eight silver dollars were minted in 1834 and have become known as the Class I type.
Between 1858 and 1860, Theodore Eckfeldt, a U.S. Mint employee, illegally produced seven more 1804 Silver Dollars which he sold off. These became known as the Class II and Class III types.
All fifteen of the 1804 Silver Dollars have been accounted for and exist in either museums or private collections.Coveted by collectors, but essentially impossible to own, a Class I type Silver Dollar sold in 2001 for $4.14 Million! The 1804 Silver Dollar is considered to be one of the rarest pieces in the history of American numismatics. After the initial minting of eight pieces, two restrikes were issued for collectors.
