The thread title intrigued me.
I Googled:
"Cook Islands 1964 Morgan dollar"
Ad said: 'clad with 71 mgs .999 silver', and 'NCLT'
It's not even a silver round !
They said 'limit 5 per customer'
They said 'hurry'
- why on Earth would you do that ?
For me, I wouldn't bother.
I would have to admit: the 'NCLT' statement, without checking, is most probably true.
It would have made far more sense to have it struck from solid .999 silver, and generate at least some sort of interest for the silver round collector in the U.S.
I have seen similar impaired proof silver clad crown sized NCLT coin product in a junk box at a coin show for an Australian Dollar (78 U.S.Cents).

However, being born in 1964 I did purchase one but only because of the year! It says copy on the reverse and the quality is NOT there at all. If it weren't for the fact that I'm a sucker for anything 1964, I would not even of considered purchasing it!
