1814 half dollar struck in platinum There are three of those. How about the 1870 S Half Dime (unique), the 1870 S three dollar gold (unique but there may be a second in the S mint cornerstone.) Does an 1870 S quarter exist? they put a full set of coins in the cornerstone in 1870 and the quarter is the only one now that doesn't have a known example outside the stone. If they made duplicates of the Half Dime, Seated dollar and three dollar gold, they almost certainly did so with the quarter as well. Not as rare as some of the others, but the 1853 O no arrows half dollar, no known mintage but 4 examples are known. One of which just turned up fairly recently. All are worn they did go into circulation. Edited by Conder101

I have no idea what that coin may be.
But one thing that I do know for sure:-
It will be a unique pattern experimental strike.

That is fascinating, another quarter could be out there and unknown to us.  |

I would say the 1964 Peace dollar as well. I would also make a very strong case as to the legality of ownership. Based on mint records, 316,017 were struck beginning on May 12, 1965. In the first week of production Denver Mint Superintendent Fern Miller allowed employees to purchase or exchange for the new dollars, a usual occurrence at the mint. Twelve days later, May 24, the order from President Johnson went out rescinding the order for production. And here's the interesting part. It was at this time that Director Ava Adams sent a letter ahead of her arrival in Denver requesting that all 1964's obtained by mint employees be returned at once. Overseeing the melting operation, and again according to the official mint records, rather than do a physical dollar count, she decided to weigh them instead. Although no legal expert, they were authorized, struck, legal obtained and the mint's own financial books balanced after the fact. It's no different than the 1933 Ten dollar gold, which are legal to possess despite a Presidential Executive Order.

Daniel Carr's overstrikes are not legal tender, despite the fact that they are overstruck on a genuine coin.

Therefore, it is possible that at least one 1921-1935 Peace dollar was sacrificed in that melt. Possibly more. Many more. At least one 1964-D Peace dollar is out there!  |

Are we not going to restrict this to CIRCULATED business strikes?

There is more likely over one 1964 peace out there. I would be the guy not to surrender my money to the mint like that.

CORRECT, but considering how the mint has treated people that have coins that haven't been released (see below), I doubt any will ever be seen publicly. Heck if I had one I wouldn't say a word. I wouldn't even post on here to arose suspicion (hence I have none, so if the Mint is following this tread, I don't have any, but check out that jBuck character, he professes too much love for an ugly bald former president  ) https://www.coinworld.com/news/prec...le-case.htmlHENCE why they are the rarest, there are possibly a few out there that no one will ever talk about, hence its like Schrödinger's Cat, both out there and not at the same time Edited by hfjacinto

If I had one, I would not tell. Important word, had. I would have sold on the black market to build the ultimate Ike collection. Bald is beautiful! |
