[QUOTE="dcarr, post: 2174452, member: 4781"]PCGS can say and advertise whatever and however they like. That doesn't necessarily mean that they believe any original 1964-D Peace Dollars exist. What really counts is what the US Treasury says. And they have publicly stated that no 1964 dollars were originally issued, all were melted, and none exist. But they do add the caveat that if somehow one escaped, it would be illegal to own and subject to confiscation. So if a layperson were to spend a lot of money without doing some basic due diligence, there is not much that could be done to save them from themselves. Eventually they would make a blunder in [I]something[/I]. On the other hand, if a person were to do a bit of research they would find that if the coin they are interested in is genuine, it would be illegal to own. So, to them, that should send up a big enough red flag right there. [IMG]http://www.designscomputed.com/coin_pics/treasury_news_1973.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
