Message:: [QUOTE="srkjkd, post: 187085, member: 7248"]my understanding is that they were doing research for a book and that some of these rarities existed. it IS possible that a 1964d peace dollar could be out there as well as the 1895 morgan. these coins were actually minted, but theoretically destroyed. we haven't seen one but who knows? i had just never heard that 1933 quarter dies had been prepared for production nor had any been struck. i find it quite interesting. who knew that someone would be sitting on 10...TEN... 1933 double eagles?? we knew they were actually struck...could be another hidden somewhere? got to admit that the discovery would be cool. the 59 wheat certainly could have been minted even by mismatched dies so that is possible. the monetization and legal status would be questionable, but possession of those may not fall into the same category as the double eagles. the wheat cent could actually fall under an error classification. i have no idea if any of the stories are true..i have never seen the coins. guess i'll keep searching junk boxes for the elusive 1895 morgan for my series. if i find the quarter tho, i'll give you guys first shot at buying it!!! i really do appreciate all of the members viewpoints and info in all these discussions. i had forgotten how much fun i had studying and talking about coins. the internet wasn't around when i was collecting before. talking with all  of you certainly is a bonus to the enjoyment of the hobby![/QUOTE]
