[QUOTE="dcarr, post: 2178931, member: 4781"]The original 1964-D Peace Dollars were actually struck and destroyed in May of 1965. Due to the shortage of coinage, the US Mint was producing 90% silver 1964-dated coins well into calendar year 1965. At the same time, 1965-dated copper-nickel clad coins (and 40% silver half dollars) were also being produced. The prohibition on using mint marks was correlated to the year shown on the coin, not that actual calendar year in which it was struck. The 1964 Philadelphia Peace Dollars were produced as die trials, some time prior to the Denver production.[/QUOTE]
