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. The same listing gives the August 27 noon Eastern opening time and the 26BM4 item number. The Mint’s 2026 product schedule independently places it on the upcoming August calendar.
That is enough to plan a reminder. It is not enough to make a value prediction. The live page currently uses TBD for price, and collectors should not fill that blank with a marketplace presale, a prior Best of the Mint product, or an old 1804-dollar auction result.
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 August 27 checklist
- Save the official 26BM4 page and recheck it shortly before noon ET.
- Confirm the final price, any updated household limit, 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.
