Just remember how all the stories about the 1933 $20 and whether it existed and now we know of 11 examples.

 

Yes we do but IIRC, every one of the 1933 Saints originated from Izzy Switt with a good number recovered by the SS in the 40's and 50's. The statement about stories of them existing is a little far fetched since its well documented that the coin did exist and that an unknown number did leave the mint. They're recovery may or may not be complete but there was never a question of whether or not they existed.

 

The qualification though, not whether any ever existed but after the 1950s if any beside the Farouk coin existed. Even the Farouk coin dropped off the map for nearly half a century. Until the Langbord coins surfaced there was no hard evidence that there were any other examples.

 

I'd love to, but I have no idea what you were trying to say...

 

What does a sick bird have to do with all of this?

 

It is illegal to own the sick bird..........

 

You can't even possess a feather from an Ill Eagle! Uh uh! No no no!

 

You are wrong, vnickels had it right, Congress ordered them made, Johnson ordered them destroyed.

When I talked to Michael Lantz a few years back at Central States he said he didn't have first hand knowledge about them because he didn't work in that building. (The dollars were struck in a building separate from the rest of the Denver Mint complex.)

It was well documented that the coin existed, but there was no documentation about an unknown number leaving the mint. In fact the mint always insisted that they had accounted for every single one of them and kept maintaining that even as more of them kept showing up. Back in the 40's when the government decided to go after them Izzy admitted to having handled nine of them. The government recovered eight and the Farouk coin was number nine. Again the government claimed to have accounted for all of them. then the Eliasberg coin turned up and they took it. Now they said they had all of them. In the early seventies it was commonly believe among dealers that Izzy actually had 25 of them and only admitted to nine. Then the Langboard coins turned up. That made twenty, and there is a photo from 1980 of one that does not match any of the known pieces. That makes 21. I seriously believe the 25 figure so I think there are probably at least 5 more out there, the one from the photo and four more.

 

All I know is this 1970's there was no one saying anything about Denver employees "story" get to buy 1964-D Peace Dollar.
@the set of coins I seen in a collection.
being in the US Army we did get Coin World+ other Info about coins.

 

I can live with being wrong about the 64 Dollar Michael. I mean, I am married and get reminded that I'm wrong on a daily basis!

Doug forwarded me a copy of the Michael Lantz report from Coin World and I can see a lot of room for the possibility of some "escaping" but the fact remains that no photographs exist. None. Even in today's high tech world, there are photographers out there that still use and can develop film. Some are even coin collectors which means that a photograph "could" be taken without leaving any trail at all.

Maybe PCGS will get lucky?

 

PCGS doesn't need luck. They just continually jack up their prices to make their own "luck".

 

Who knows. They didn't offer $10K but they made similar requests to see and slab one of the 1974 aluminum cents and today one of them is in a PCGS slab. (OK so it did go through ICG first. On the bright side it increased four grade points from AU-58 to MS-62 when it crossed.) They offered a bundle to see the missing fifth 1913 V nickel and the Walton coin came out of hiding. This might just bring a 64-D Peace dollar out of the shadows.
