1964 Peace dollar They do exist. They were issued to several mint employees and to several senators. Once issued to the authorized agent the coins became legal tender and under the 4th Amendment the coins were not returned to the mint when asked for. Regardless of the mint's later decision to halt further issuance of any coins, the ones they gave away were now private property. The remaining coins were melted and two found in 1970, which is proof to the existence in "twos" were also melted. The official stance of the U.S. at this time is that if any of the remaining coins exist they are stolen and the owner may be charged with receiving stolen property. I would like to argue this misnomer. The coins were issued and therefore legal tender and are now someone else's private property. In 1935 San Fransisco mint added a fourth ray below the "ONE" on the peacedollar. In order to cut expenses the Denver Mint overstruck 1935 S coins that were already in the vault then turned around and melted them. Why not just melt them from the vault. Was there some law preventing this and the only way around it was to mint the coins first? It is possible that the 316,000 coins were made shoddy and the only curatable specemines were given as gifts. Yes this is a very interesting coin and let the world know that I someday hope to own one and that they are legal to own. 2Legit2quit:welcome:
Welcome!!!! 1st welcome to Cointalk:thumb: :devil: There are so many rumors for the 1964-D Peace Dollar.if 1 or more real ones were found I am sure the Men in Black Secret Service would be on the move 4 sure!!! But now you can buy a Very good copy that the 1964-D Peace Dollar may have been struck on,from Daniel Carr.
I agree that they will be very interested in the origin of the coin if one does appear, yet there is nothing to fear but fear itself. As for Daniel Carr, he is a very talented artist but his creation seems to add to the controversy. Now anyone with a real 1964 peacedollar can just get a Carr specemin and viola...now when the Secret Service nocks the coin can just hide inside a Daniel Carr wrapper. One thing is certain, there are no physical specemins available to match against a serendipitous 1964 peacedollar. Daniel Carr added a die gouge to ensure the origin of his creations. There are also a few other telltale signs of a Daniel Carr coin as you can see on his website. Yet there are so many similarities such as the fourth ray and being overstruck. I still prefer the REAL 1964 PEACE DOLLARS.
One of my favorites is the Gobrecht dollar (without stars on the obverse of course). Not owning a real Gobrecht dollar, I must be content with my no stars dimes. This one from 1838 has an O mint mark like your 1841.
89:thumb: Very Nice 1838-O Seated Dime!! & LP I would also like to see a Real 1964-D Peace Dollar. but I am sue if one or more were found The men in Black would carry them away:help!A: Ask the Izzy Swift Family there 33 Saints tour the country while still being evidence in a on going court case?that to this day has not ended.
