 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/United States dollar coin
Original silver dollars from this period are highly prized by coin collectors and are exceptionally valuable, especially the 1804 silver dollar, which is one of the rarest and most famous coins in the world.
The first $1 gold coin of 1849 was only 13 mm in diameter; at only three-quarters the size of the present-day dime, it was the smallest coin in U.S. history.
The coins were never very popular, primarily due to their large size and weight which made them difficult to carry over large distances.
