Here is another example of a novodel or restrike United States Proof silver dollar. Numismatic researchers believed that the mint struck approximately one dozen 1802 Proof Silver dollars around 1832. They believe that only four of these coins still exist today. The amazingly sharp detail and its high level of preservation bring this coin to be one of the most sought-after silver dollars.

This 1804 Draped Bust silver dollar is the finest known specimen across all fifteen known coins. Pres. Andrew Jackson originally ordered the striking of these silver dollars as presentation pieces to foreign leaders and dignitaries. This particular coin can trace its origins all the way back to the Sultan of Muscat who received it in 1834. The coin was offered for sale again in May 2016 at the D. Brent Pogue Collection auction by Stack's/Bowers & Sotheby's. The coin was bid all the way up to $10.81 million (which includes the 17.5% buyer's fee), but the bid did not meet the consignor's minimum reserve. Unfortunately, this coin could have been the world's most valuable coin!
