Picture of the day

The 1804 dollar is a dollar coin struck by the Mint of the United States; despite the date on the coin, none were struck before the 1830s. First created for use in special proof coin sets used as diplomatic gifts during Edmund Roberts' trips to Siam and Muscat, several restrikes were ordered in the 1840s. Today, only fifteen specimens are known to exist, divided into three slightly different classes. The Class III example pictured is one of only six known, and sold in a 2009 auction for USD $2,300,000.Coin: Mint of the United States; photograph: Heritage Auctions

Opening paragraph[edit]

Can these sentences:

Some silver dollars were struck in 1804, though all were dated 1803. In 1806, production was suspended by order of James Madison, then Secretary of State, and the denomination was not struck again until the 1804-dated pieces were minted.

be dropped from the opening paragraph please? The information is good to have in the background section, but the passing mention in the first paragraph of coins that are not the subject of the article is quite confusing. --Paul_012 (talk) 10:38, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
