    This is a great article and really highlights the fact the public didn't really need a lot of dollars.

    Some updates :)

    • Morgan Dollars (1878-1904; 1921; 2021)
    • Peace Dollars (1921-1928; 1934-1935; 2021)

    I wonder if Draped Bust Dollars will come back now, like say in 2024?

    And what about the Peace Dollars struck in 1965 with the 1964 date?

    I tried once again to join the email list (just now).... I will keep trying....My email works very well... get 40 or 50 a day from various people/organizations. Not sure why yours does not come. And yes, I check my junk folder as well.
    Cheers, RickO

    I think PCGS is still waiting to give someone $10K. They've been waiting since Jan 11, 2013.

    But they were struck, and the 30 year gap in production matches the 1804-1834 gap.

    If they listed the 1964 Peace dollars, they should also list the 1970 Peace dollars and 1964 Morgan dollars.

    • 1964 Peace dollars were struck but all destroyed, no coins or dies remaining
    • 1964 Morgan dollars have no record of being struck, but the dies remain
    • 1970 Peace dollars were struck but all destroyed, no coins or dies remaining

    I think the jist of the article to discuss coins that were actually issued, but it would be interesting to have a section on proposed design reuse.

    PCGS can confidently offer a reward for a coin that only a fool would disclose they own for fear of getting a visit from the Secret Service. Think Langbords and the ten 1933 Saints. There is a whole netherworld of quietly traded collectables, artwork etc. I am sure there are some 1964 Peace out there, and probably more 1974 aluminium cents that won't be publicised for a very long time.

    I wonder how those in the netherworld authenticate their collectibles?

    I believe it was Mr. Carr who published these images. He obtained them from the U.S. Mint, and flipped the one to show what a coin struck from the die would have looked like.

    I have a photograph that I am not at liberty to reproduce showing a total of four 1964 Peace Dollar dies or hubs in a drawer at the Philadelphia Mint, including this die and this hub.

    Ah, so the Peace Dollar dies and hub still exist as well as the 1964 Morgan dollar?

    Why are you not allowed to show your photo?

    The person who sent it to me for a consultation intends to publish it someday, and asked that I not publish it.

    Good to know. Hope to see that publication soon :)

    Dan's Mint photos are good for now.
