    I think that the Seller might be mis-leading us a little on that one.

    The real question is "Will a REAL one ever turn up in our life time, and who will get to slab it?"

    When a real one does show up, I'm quite certain it will be located by Marty in a pawn shop.image Bill.

    1. Former Denver Mint employee Michael Lantz discussed these in a Coin World article a couple of years ago. He was present when the coins were struck and can provide details about the location of the press room, types of presses used, etc. He also answered questions about them at the ANA in Denver. Mr. Lantz also believes that the story about employees being able to buy 2 of the new dollars is actually a transference of what was permitted for the new Kennedy halves. He said no one was allowed to purchase, trade, exchange or otherwise acquire any of the 1964-D Peace dollars. He also said that several (exact quantity not specified) were sent to the Director in Washington, but he does not know what happened to these.

    2. The working dies (used to strike coins) were destroyed at the end of each calendar year. The master hubs were kept for future use. After the 1935 dollars were made the mint did not expect future orders. The master hubs and master dies were destroyed in January 1937; however, several reverse working dies were retained. It is not known why these were excluded.

    The 1964-D Peace dollar hubs could have been made using Anthony deFrancisci's original bronze low-relief casts from 1922, but no photos of genuine 1964-D dollars are known.

    Sad part is photoshop-jobs worse than that (of other coins) not only are offered for sale on eBay, but supposedly are good enough that eBay won't pull them as fraudulent auctions

    (no offense meant to your Photoshop work, of course image )
    Philately will get you nowhere....

    Given enough time I'm sure some will show up on ebay coming out of China. I have already seen a 1929 Peace Dollar.image

    That's just toning around the date. This was not
    photoshopped!image


























    No offense taken. I could of did better but this is all I could come up with within 4 minutes.image

    Agree probably not photoshopped, probably is a 1964 Royal Oak Mint obverse and a regular Pease dollar Denver mint reverse. I believe that eventually the Mint will lose on the 1933 double eagles case, and then any U. S. coin ever minted will be legalized. Then we will see some 1964-D Peace dollars hit the market (at least 20). I did read the interview with Michael Lantz, but I would find it difficult to believe that when Peace dollars in Unc. were worth $2, that someone wouldn't have switched them out for 1964-D's.

    Actually, it was photoshopped. I should of put the image thingy, though. I did this with the obverse and reverse images of a 1934-D peace dollar.
