<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 437166, member: 4626"]The 1964 Peace Dollar is a favorite fantasy of coin collectors. In all liklihood it probably doesn't exist... but there's some astronomical chance that it <i>could</i>... so people like to fantasize about one being found (especially if they're the one who finds it!).</p><p><br /></p><p>Absense of evidence is not evidence of absence of course, but after a while you have to think that if there was one to be found, it would have been found by now... the longer it goes without being found the more likely it becomes that there just isn't one to find. It's very likely that even if one was ever found it isn't legal to own anyway as they were all ordered destroyed and there isn't solid evidence that any were ever legally issued. It's less of a legal grey area than the 10 1933 double eagles and the government still holds those...</p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah maybe some former mint employee has one hidden away and doesn't want to reveal it for fear of it bein confiscated... but I wouldn't hold my breath lol... I honestly would think it more likely to find solid proof that the Loch Ness Monster exists.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
