[QUOTE="dcarr, post: 1002620, member: 4781"]I should clarify that what I meant was, according to the government (and that's what counts !) no 1964 Peace Dollars exist. "All of the trial strikes for this proposed 1964 dollar were ordered destroyed under the strict supervisory and accounting procedures required by Mint regulations. None reached the final stage of being counted, bagged and issued by the Mint's cashier as finished coins." I would take that to mean that the government's position is that none exist. I would agree that the "spirit" of the law would have been broken IF I were to create Peace dollars out of something that wasn't, and/or changed them to look like a different date that was actually issued, or could potentially be issued. (I have not done, and will not do, that). PS: Fortunately, "Joe Engraver", in general, does not have the skill and technique to [i]accurately[/i] replicate existing coins by engraving dies. "Transfer dies" (made by molding an existing coin) is another matter, but has it's own issues.[/QUOTE]
