This remarkable coin is a 1804 $10 (Ten Dollar) Pattern coin, minted at the Philadelphia Mint as part of a select series known as "Patterns & Trial Coins." Designed by the esteemed engraver Robert Scot, this piece represents a significant historical artifact in U.S. numismatics. The coin, with a diameter of 33.00 mm, is produced in silver and features a reeded edge, which adds a tactile aspect to its artistry. Although it carries no mint mark, its rarity is accentuated by a minuscule mintage of only 6 pieces, making it one of the rarest U.S. coins available to collectors. Despite the properties indicating that the weight and width values are recorded as '0.00000000', this coin is still recognized for its critical role in American coinage history, particularly as a coin that never saw official release for circulation but instead reflects the artistic and economic ideals of its time. As a proof coin, it exhibits a high level of detail and polished finish, characteristic of coins struck for collectors rather than regular production. Its historical significance, alongside its limited mintage and the prestige of its designer, contributes to its extraordinary value in the numismatic market.
