1964 Peace Dollar Master Die

The story that was told to me face-to-face by a former Denver Mint employee was that employees were offered the chance to buy one or two of them at face value as they were leaving work. None were given to anybody.

very debatable.

The mint was never able to prove that any gold was missing, and there was a short window of time, like with the 1933 eagles, where one could exchange one for one.

 

The point remains that both the D(enver) and Philadelphia 1974 aluminums were not "stolen" but leaked out or were given out.

The government has to stop treating these individuals like they are running a printing press running off counterfeit $100 bills.

When Charles Barber walks out of the Mint with 8 Ultra High Relief Saints worth thousands of dollars in 1907, nobody said BOO. Ditto other high-ranking Mint officials.

It's only when the peons luck into something that all hell is raised.

Enought of this bull****.

 

No gold was EVER found missing, so even if the Cashier or another Mint employee did the exchange or bought them for themsleves anytime from 1933-37, all they did was get the last gold coins that would be minted for a while.

This really is a "witch hunt" that doesn't seem to apply to high-ranking Mint or BEP officials when they help themsleves to valuables.

Those 1933's were worth maybe $50 each when they were exchanged.
