Anyone read Cartwheel, a fiction/mystery, reviewed this week in Coin World? Just picked up a copy and read the first couple pages. It opens in the Denver mint and explains how one 1964-d Peace Dollar escaped the mint.

 

if you are not careful you may get up one day and find that GD has banned you. He doesnt people taking potshots at me in his 2013 edition after i gave him a software upgrade

 

Thank you my friend. Tell Harvey he has a new target jacer something

 

started drinking coins eh? time for rehab? :d

 

Are any of those coins worth millions of dollars? (i honestly have no clue)

My guess is the government only confiscates when it is worth enough money to make it worth their while. Millions+

That is why the double eagles were confiscated but the other coins mentioned below were not. (in my opinion)

 

Then again I guess a few million doesn't do much to 16 trillion dollars worth of debt. Probably just spent that few million in the last 3 seconds.

 

Please let stick to the coin 1964-D Peace Dollar. I am not try to single u out but with 1 Post That is how it looks. Thank you

 

why is a 1964 peace dollar illeagle to own?

 

you write reams of stuff but when it comes to juicy bits you post half the story now go on tell us the whole thing

 

Its a Ghost John only a few Have seen. It was one issue @ one the past 2000-today one of top 50 US coin We never where able to get if you were born from 1950-70. Plus a Bounty is now on it. Us old folks try to keep up or I do John.

 

going to break your own rules GD ?

if you are not careful it will be like old times again and you will wish you were back with Adam and Eve instead.

 

Because technically they were never monetized and supposedly none ever left the Denver mint.

But, like these coins, there have been very many 'Elvis' sightings in the last few years......:devil:

 

The Coinage Act of 1965 didn't make anything legal to own that wasn't legal to own before.

It made some things legal tender that weren't legal tender before, but that's not the same thing. Just because a coin is legal tender, that doesn't mean it's yours. If it was government property before the 1965 act, the act didn't change that.

 

It's relevant to the conversation, if the owner (s) believe there is a reasonable chance the government will confiscate their 1964 peace dollar(s) they will be smart to not go public with them.

There is also not much else to discuss about a coin that may or may not even exist. Thank you

 

it still does not make sense why you could get in trouble for owning one.

 

Because maybe you will have a NIGHTMARES to own it!..Get a Lawyer too....Who SAID that? > One of the most important coins of the 20 century? <
:hail:
:devil:

 

A little history lesson:

Article 1 Section 8 of the US Constitution gives the power to Congress to among other things:
“To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures.”

With the passage of the “Coinage Act of 1965” in September 1965, Congress who has the constitution authority to coin money and regulate it’s value, basically monetized all coins that the United States ever minted before it’s enactment under Section 102:

“All coins and currencies of the United States, regardless of when coined or issued, shall be legal tender for all debts, public and private.....”

By Congress adding the verbiage “regardless of when coined or issued” (notice that they used the word “or”, not “and”) meant that Congress was going to finial recognize (monetize) the half cent, trade dollars and any other planchets that the US mint struck over the years that has a face value including Patterns.

Why the Langbords’ attorney didn’t use the “Coinage Act of 1965” when the Government claimed that the coins in question were never monetized is anyone’s guess. I guess there is a reason why attorneys are not “rocket scientist” or “brain surgeons”.
