<p>[QUOTE=&quot;predcarn, post: 149939, member: 6000&quot;]From Breen&#039;s Encycopedia: When the 1921 dollar coinage turned out to be</p><p>the old morgan design, Farran Zerbe who had a large political influence and</p><p>whose collection later became the Chase Manhattan Bank Money Museum</p><p>raised a monstrous fuss ( Breen&#039;s words) at the mint.As a consulation prize,</p><p>and to apease him, the mint privately authorized a limited number of P and</p><p>S morgan proofs which were poorly done. When Henry Chapman, Phila.</p><p>coin dealer heard of this he went to Morgan and had 10 High quality 1921 Morgan&nbsp; </p><p>Proofs made for him. When the 1921 Peace dollar started over the</p><p>anger of Morgan, 4 different proofs were made: 6-8 matte finish, 7-10</p><p>satin finish, 6-8 1922 type of &#039;21, and 3 known 1922 regular design.</p><p><br /></p><p>No one seems to know if there were any 1964-D proofs made before the</p><p>year was recalled and melted, but most likely not, even though some</p><p>suspect that several regular 1964-D might have escaped the mint as </p><p>no records were kept of whether all of the dollars purchased by the </p><p>mint employees ( 2 each) as was tradition, were actually turned back </p><p>into the mint for melting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
