Buffaloboy5, did someone, somewhere claim ownership of a 1964 Peace dollar? Or are you talking about the article saying they were minted and then melted? Mike  |

I think he's talking about the April Fool's joke that Bobby posted with the photoshopped 1964 Peace dollar. By the way, I moved this to the Main Forum. |

I think Susan is right, it had to be the April 1 post of Bobby's that fooled some of us. Not sure which thread it was, but it sure was a good joke.

My money's on the 1964 Peace dollar. Over 300,000 were struck, and it's known that a few left the mint. |

I said "other"- I have a feeling one of those 1982 (?) aluminum cents is gonna turn up for sale sooner or later! Besides, I've got a monopoly on all of the circulation strike 1895-P Morgans, but you didn't hear it here... [:0]  *checks stash in mattress* Rachel [:p] |

I'm betting on the 1964 peace. there were more of those minted than the 1895-P morgan (12,000 business strikes), so there's a decent shot of one of them being in existence. Anybody wanna check farouk's stash?

And who is to say all 1964 Peace dollars were destroyed? Does anyone actually believe that a few of the coins minted didnt find their way into private collections somewhere? Wasnt their a year all carson city minted coins were supposedly melted and none saved yet in the 1950's a few was found in a private collection? |

I believe it will be the 1964 Peace dollar there has to be one lying around somewhere that had not been melted. *Put On Sherlock Holmes Outfit* I will not rest till I find this missing coin. The number that were minted was 300,000 as someone has already posted. I wonder if when they were melting them they took count? That would be so cool if the number melted was 299,999lol! I wonder how much that coin would be worth? 5million or more most likely. |

Supposedly they did it by weight. So anyone could have pocketed several and threw in common Morgan or Peace dollars to replace them. |

That wouldn't really suprise me at all. Those mint employees sure know how to abuse their positions!
