Updated September 15, 2026: This article retains its original August title and publication date. The release date has passed; current price and household-limit details below have been refreshed from the official Mint product pages. The original product photograph is retained. A displayed price is not a promise of stock.
What the Mint has confirmed
The Mint’s official product page identifies this as a Best of the Mint Semiquincentennial product. Its published product image shows a gold coin and companion silver medal in presentation packaging. Its item number remains 26BM4. The original August 27 noon Eastern release date is now past; it is retained here as release history, not as an upcoming sale.
The official page now supplies a price: $5,590 when checked September 15. That is a dated Mint listing, not an appraisal or a guaranteed future price. A marketplace offer, a prior Best of the Mint product or an original 1804-dollar auction result does not establish this modern set’s value.
Do not confuse this product with an original 1804 dollar
The title points to an 1804 Silver Dollar, but this is a modern Mint product—not an original early-U.S. silver dollar offered as an 1804 rarity. It is also separate from CoinHub’s guide to the 1804 Draped Bust quarter. Collectors comparing listings should use the exact product title and item number rather than search snippets alone.
A practical checklist after the release
- Save the official 26BM4 page and recheck its current price and availability before ordering.
- Confirm the displayed price, current limits, shipping and tax before deciding.
- Compare the title, item number, and product photos when reviewing any non-Mint listing.
- Keep the original Mint packaging and receipt if you buy; they identify the modern product.
- Do not treat early asking prices as completed-sale evidence.
How this fits the 2026 Best of the Mint program
The 1804 set follows other Semiquincentennial Best of the Mint releases. If you are comparing formats rather than chasing every release, start with CoinHub’s coverage of the 1916 Walking Liberty set and the Standing Liberty set. Compare official product facts issue by issue; a prior item’s price or availability does not set the terms for 26BM4.
