    I hope I live long enough to see a '64D Peace dollar emerge from hiding.... ;) They are out there....to steal a phrase...and a lot more likely than a little green alien. Cheers, RickO

    Anyone remember what member used to rabidly promote these back in the day?

    Do they still carry a premium?

    Absolutely, a big one.

    PCGS recognizes the variety.

    @ErrorsOnCoins . I hope there is a premium, I spent a lot of time flipping those darn nickles to no avail. Nice website BTW.

    Sounds like the managers in this old engineering joke. I sent it to my old colleagues in India and my sons in IT. One said it's the quite possibly the funniest true story ever😜

    A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a little bit more and shouted, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”

    The woman below replied, “You’re in a hot air ballon hovering approximately thirty feet above the ground. You’re between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.”

    “You must be an engineer,” said the balloonist.

    “I am,” replied the woman. “How did you know?”

    “Well,” answered the balloonist, “everything you told me is technically correct, but I’ve no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I’m still lost. Frankly, you’ve not been much help at all. If anything, you’ve delayed my trip.”

    The woman below responded, “You must be in management,” to which he replied, “I am, but how did you know?”

    “Well,” the woman responded, “you don’t know where you are or where you’re going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise which you’ve no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is, you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it’s my fault.”
