Beautiful old copper from our founding fathers - what could be better than that.  |

The 1804 gold is one of the most expensive gold coins out there. Great coin to have as Rodebaugh mentioned but who can afford such a great piece of american history. Wish I had one of the proof ones. Tqo of them are currently on display in Forth Worth, TX wish I had time to go see them. Here's a bit of an article.
"The 1804 eagle thus became famous for being the last coin for the type, and the last eagle struck for circulation for over thirty years. The estimated number of survivors, including the one on display in Fort Worth, is thought to be 80-100 pieces, all from one die pair, of which a considerable number have been damaged.
A twist was added to the story in between 1834 and 1835, when restrikes of 1804 gold eagles and silver dollars were minted by special order of President Andrew Jackson as diplomatic gifts to a king, two emperors and a sultan. Since the last time that silver dollars or gold eagles had been produced was in 1804, the Mint created new dies for the coins and struck them as proofs. There are four known 1804 proof eagle restrikes, including the one on display in Fort Worth; these coins have been nicknamed the "King of Eagles."

Yes, it's 14.1 mm (a dime is 17.9 mm). |
