<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 2179027, member: 37839"]I agree, Daniel. I do not think that the 1964D has ever existed, except possibly a few trial pieces. It is my belief that the 64D was a experiment, with a handful of specimens. They were melted, and there are NONE of them that are lurking around. As you said, it is like the game of telephone--one person starts an urban legend, and then it gets exaggerated, endlessly. If people on this board are looking for a US MINT 1964D Silver Dollar to appear, it will be a long wait--much like Waiting for Godot. Thus, your production of a facsimile 64D is vindicated even more, as I believe it to be a non-existent date in US coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it existed, somebody would have blabbed, taken a sample, and would have shown it to friends and collectors. Somebody would have accepted the PCGS reward. Some big collector would have taken the chance, despite the illegality of possessing it at that time, and would have bought it. Sorry folks, but the only 64D Peace Dollars out there are either cheap Chinese fakes, or the high quality overstrikes and non-US Mint productions. Daniel Carr's is an example of the high quality reproduction, and since the coin never existed, there is no issue of genuineness. Besides, as was said endlessly, there is a huge disclaimer on his website that the coin is non-US, and as such, not legal tender or US MINT production.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
