[QUOTE="dcarr, post: 2175285, member: 4781"]No, it has not been established that PCGS actually [I]believes[/I] that a 1964-D Peace Dollar exists. Maybe they do, maybe they don't. Either way, their $10,000 reward is a good marketing/advertising tactic. If you actually do the slightest amount of due diligence before plopping down thousands of dollars on a "1964-D" Peace Dollar, the first thing you might do is go check the PCGS web site for information regarding their "$10,000" reward. If you search the PCGS web site for "1964-D Peace Dollar", the top article that appears in the search list is this one which shows a picture of my "1964-D" over-strike: [url]http://www.pcgs.com/News/1964-d-Peace-Dollars-Do-They-Really-Exist[/url] The article states: "... someone recently came out with Fantasy 1964-D Peace dollars by striking them using their own coin press and making them resemble a genuine Mint product." The second PCGS article in the search list is the one about the $10,000 reward: [url]http://www.pcgs.com/top100/reward.aspx[/url] The article fails to mention that a genuine "1964-D" Peace Dollar would be illegal to own. The article itself could potentially be more damaging to a layperson than any replica coin.[/QUOTE]
