i found this while looking for Bust Dollars:

"I HAD THIS ITEM UP FOR AUCTION BACK AT THE END OF AUGUST AND GOT A LOT OF EMAIL INFORMING ME THAT IT WAS NOT A RESTRIKE AS I SAID IN THE TITLE OF THE AUCTION. THEY WERE RIGHT!!!!!!!! THIS COIN IS NOT A RESTRIKE OF THE RARER THAN RARE 1804 SILVER DOLLAR. AFTER ENDING THE AUCTION, BECAUSE I HAD OBVIOUSLY CALLED IT SOMETHING IT OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT, I'VE SPENT MANY HOURS ATTEMPTING TO SEE AN ACTUAL PICTURE OF THE ELECTROTYPES THAT WERE STRUCK AT THE MINT IN 1859. I COULD NOT FIND A PICTURE ANYWHERE OR A REAL DESCRIPTION OF THE ELECTROTYPES AS MENTIONED IN REDBOOK."
