<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BlackBeard_Thatch, post: 2807185, member: 85208&quot;]There has always been a bounty on 1964-D Peace Dollar since 2013 when they announced PCGS wanted to see a genuine specimen. PCGS always puts up bounties on certain things every few years also usually and most times U.S Mint/U.S Treasury has rights to take back stolen property, not the government itself . Example of this would be couple of found 10 million dollars worth of gold coins while hiking and the coins were thought to be stolen to the San Francisco Mint but the U.S Mint said &quot;We do not have any information linking the Saddle Ridge Hoard coins to any thefts at any United States Mint facility. Surviving agency records from the San Francisco Mint have been retired to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), under Record Group 104. Access to the records is under NARA&#039;s jurisdiction: <a href="http://www.archives.gov/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.archives.gov/" rel="nofollow">http://www.archives.gov/</a>.&quot; and they never pressed for the coins return. One of the gold coins was a 1866-S $20 Double Eagle/No Motto which is now thought to have been made by one of the mint managers in revenge of the assassination of Lincoln, all coins graded by PCGS with special &#039;Saddle Ridge Hoard&#039; labels. I honestly think the U.S Mint could care less unless it is a special coin such the 1964-D Peace Dollar or Mint employee made errors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Links: <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/10m-calif-gold-coin-hoard-found-yard-stolen/story?id=22764360" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/10m-calif-gold-coin-hoard-found-yard-stolen/story?id=22764360" rel="nofollow">http://abcnews.go.com/US/10m-calif-gold-coin-hoard-found-yard-stolen/story?id=22764360</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]Hr09lDLeI0Y[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
