Do you know anybody that has actually seen one of these?
I do.

I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

I say it was a special tomato.

Was this before or after they were all supposedly melted?

Why the quotation marks DC? Was it or wasn't it? Or was it one of your fabrications?

Were you trying to run it through the "elongated penny" roller in the gift shop so that it would be "struck inside the Denver Mint?"

Good point. In Charlotte's Web, I have never understood why people were impressed with Wilbur. One day, "Some Pig" appears in a spider web, and people are impressed with the pig? I don't get it. Obviously, the spider was the talented one.

My guy worked on the '64 Peace dollars when they were being struck, and one of his colleagues claimed to have smuggled one outside the Mint, but this is totally unsubstantiated, and my source said to take it with a grain of silver, I mean salt.

I knew it would happen.

I thought that the "cladding" process was farmed out to an outside contractor?
Doesn't matter one way or the other.
The person I was referring to in my OP was Michael Lantz who I was talking to on the phone yesterday. He started at the Denver Facility in 1961 and has gathered a mental library of stories from his experiences and from older mint workers.
One he related was that he was told by the old timers that bags of Silver Dollars were used in the alloy of the War Nickels.

All the problems that came along with the 1933 $20's, who in their right mind would want to go through all that. Who would
you go to who would have the best chances of defending their coin if it was brought to light that it exists. The chances are astronomical. Another generation or two would need to pass before some clueless ancestor starts blabbering his mouth off about having one. By then, we would all be gone before all he!! breaks loose on this one. Guessing what year that might be, 2079 comes to mind.
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

If one ever came to light, I suspect it would surface in another country.

The Denver Mint "gift shop" is not inside the Denver Mint. It is located in a small separate (temporary-looking) building near the tour exit.

They've moved it, eh? Back when the ANA Summer Seminar tours used to go down on the production floor with presses running and everything we "exited through the gift shop" which was in the building. They had a small press set up in there with medal dies showing the building and the Treasury seal.
You could go over to the cashier and buy a bronze planchet (either $1 or $2) and take it over to the press and put it on the lower die and press a button to strike your medal. There was no safety shield, but the attendent had a foot switch that was either the "real button" or else a deadman switch that kept the press from cycling until he was sure that nobody's fingers were between the dies.

Back then, the gift shop was run by the Mint, and it was at the end of the tour inside the main building (but you could bypass the tour and go through the back door to visit the gift shop). There was also a small museum with some neat coins - like a high-relief St. Gaudens. At that time, you could actually go in and buy proof Gold Eagles across the counter. But then some Congress scammer got a deal for one of their friends to have the gift shop run by the independent (private) contractor. It was moved outside the main Mint building, the museum was removed, and the resulting shop has nothing but the cheapest junk trinkets.

The fact it's run by a private contractor is not evidence that the government doesn't have any control over what's sold in it.
edited to add... and if, for whatever reason, the government doesn't have any control over the private contractor, whose fault is that?
