<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2346770, member: 69760&quot;]I guess it would have to be a 1964 SMS that would have to have been made at or around spring to mid 1965 then! As opposed to it accidentally being a 1965 Denver set... </p><blockquote><p><br /></p><p><font size="3">What&#039;s suspicious is that over the years several 1964 Special Mint set coins surfaced. There are no Mint records of any 1964 Special Mint Sets being produced; however, we know these coins do exist. According to a prominent coin dealer, the 1964 Special Mint Set coins surfaced from Eva Adams&#039; personal estate collection when they were consigned to a Stack&#039;s auction. Over the years, there have been rumors that another prominent coin dealer was offered a few 1964-D Peace dollars. Around the same time, the Mint came out with a statement indicating that if any of these dollars exist, they were illegal to own. The dealer mentioned he never heard back from the seller, but believed he did indeed own a few.</font></p><p><font size="3"><br /></font></p><p><font size="3">Others have mentioned that in 1965 Mint employees were given the opportunity to exchange the 1964-D Peace dollars at face value when they were originally struck. However, the Mint requested that employees bring them back once they were ordered to be destroyed. If this was the case, some coins could have escaped the Mint through this channel. Another possible way is that coins could have been removed during the weighing process upon destruction; a Mint employee could have replaced the coins with any other pre-1964 Peace Morgan dollars since they had the exact same weight. Of course, this is just speculation.</font></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.pcgs.com/News/1964-d-Peace-Dollars-Do-They-Really-Exist" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/News/1964-d-Peace-Dollars-Do-They-Really-Exist" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/News/1964-d-Peace-Dollars-Do-They-Really-Exist</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
