ahh ... i just saw that image was named "spoof"

that's a great fake!

 

Why?
Do you know what it feels like to have a rare coin but know the service can destroy it. And no TPG will touch it. And you can't find a buyer.
If I could get rid of it, I would do so in a heartbeat!

 

This one's a little higher graded than the NGC example posted above... also looks like an SMS or proof coin... of course it's also not real

 

Peace Dollars are my favorite wish these weren't melted down would have loved to have one.

 

I have to apologize if I misled anyone into thinking that I actually had an image of an authentic 1964-D Peace dollar, let alone one certified by NGC. This is a manipulated image that I saved from one of the coin forums where someone else produced the image and posted it in a thread. I wish I could recall who originally posted the image so that I could give them credit, but that information I lost track of a while ago. Alas, the NGC certified 1964-D Peace dollar is a spoof image.

 

loved it Tom

 

Wow, I didn't know this either. very cool.

 

This is the 2nd implication that you own such a coin. Do you?

 

I wouldn't sell it, I hate to break up a roll!

 

I just got this replica 1964D Peace Dollar in the mail ... it was $14.99 ... and i have to say it's beautiful.

It's cool to see what this coin might have looked like if they weren't all melted.

If any of these coins remained today, I am guessing it would be worth over $1,000,000

(Did I mention that I LOVE this series)

 

it's interesting that these were minted to quell the silver dollar shortage in booming las vegas ... but congress voted the minting stopped and the dollars melted ... i hate congress ... no matter the era or the year ... they are always biggest bunch of hacks anyone can find in one room.

They could have easily had the US Mint package and sell the silver dollar coins for $30 each to collectors and quickly made ten million dollars -- instead they melted them down and ended up with $200,000 worth of silver bars.

If you are moronic and/or corrupt ... run for congress!

 

It would be confiscated if it became known that you had one. You would need to hide it for another 100 years or so. Then it would shake the world of numismatics for sure !

 

and then it would be confiscated!

 

I think after that long, they would realize that this stolen coin does exist and is very rare to have survived. I think they would allow it to be auctioned, so the proceeds could be taxed. That is what seems to happen with antiquities, anyway. Even those with a "dark" provenence are claimed by the possessor.

 

There has been a picture posted at "the big forum" that is reported to be the real deal. I have it saved on another computer. Raw coin of course.

 

I can only imply but I'm interested in sharing a specimen

 

Seen it. Quite the fake it is.

 

there are a bunch of $20 gold from 1933 that their possessors would love to own, but the US Government seemingly is not giving up on them

 

Well, give it another 30 years or so. I think it needs to be about 100. But then again, the Brits claim ownership of vessels sunk in the 1600's, so, who can say ?
