1804 Silver Dollar - Class III - Adams-Carter-Flanagan Specimen.

It is derived from an scan from coinfacts.com. [1] Image was given to coinfacts.com by Legend Numismatics. [2]

The coin design is in the public domain, and, per WP:IUP: Also note that in the United States, reproductions of two-dimensional artwork which is in the public domain because of age do not generate a new copyright — for example, a straight-on photograph of the Mona Lisa would not be considered copyrighted (see Bridgeman v. Corel). Scans of images alone do not generate new copyrights — they merely inherit the copyright status of the image they are reproducing." Since this is simply a straight-on photo or scan, with no creative aspect involved, it should not be subject to copyright as per this precedent.
