<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1623616, member: 15929&quot;]I&#039;ve heard and read all these other accounts as well but let me ask, if Michael Lantz, who actually worked there, says that the buying or &quot;trading of dollars&quot; for Peace Dollars didn&#039;t happen, shouldn&#039;t we accept his word for it? I mean, he was there!</p><p><br /></p><p>He certainly knew of them. Even held one in his hand and since he did have a life outside of his 8 hour a day job at the Mint, was more than likely aware of the Coin Community &quot;buzz&quot; surrounding these coins. Do you suppose that he just kinda &quot;missed&quot; this opportunity?</p><p><br /></p><p>Something else to consider, these coins never even made it to the counting and bagging portion of production and any mintage numbers presented are simply calculated guesses based upon over all weights. Why on earth would the Denver Facility offer these in trade if they didn;t know how many they really had? How would they account for the trades since the coins never made it as far as a &quot;cashier&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure, folks can speculate until they are blue in the faces with all the &quot;possibilities&quot; and &quot;after the fact scenarios&quot; but the reality is that there were folks present during the manufactur of these coins and one of them says that no such trading or purchasing scenario was ever offered.</p><p><br /></p><p>Until I see a picture of a coin that these former mint employee&#039;s could validate as authentic from their recollections, I&#039;ll choose to believe that none left the facility either in the hands of mint employees or Lyndon Baines Johnson.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
