<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dcarr, post: 2175266, member: 4781&quot;]1933 Double Eagles reached the cashier. 1964-D Peace dollars never did.

There was no opportunity for someone to purchase one. Of course, the government would issue the statement so as to cover all hypothetical scenarios.</p><p><br /></p><p>The old story of how Mint employees could purchase a 1964-D Peace Dollar at the end of the shift has never been corroborated by any specific witness. What actually happened is that Mint employees were allowed to purchase the new 1964-D Kennedy half dollar. And somehow many years later that was confused with the 1964-D dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>But from a legal perspective, the government itself claims that none of the 1964-D Peace Dollars were ever issued or released. An official government statement will always trump private hearsay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
