<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dcarr, post: 2609245, member: 4781&quot;]No pictures of any 1964 Peace Dollar tooling or coins have ever been released, as far as I can tell. I assume that someone now has pictures of the recently-discovered tooling, but that hasn&#039;t been released yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think the original plan was to ever strike Morgans in Philadelphia and Peace in Denver. I think they would have gone with only one design to discourage coin hoarding at the time (ultimately, it was decided that any silver dollar would be hoarded too much - so none were issued).</p><p><br /></p><p>When the US Mint was instructed to make preparations for striking 1964 silver dollars, they were not told what design to use. So the Mint evaluated using either of the two most recent silver dollar designs, going to actual production with the Peace design.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
