Hypothetical question---what if a real 1964 Peace Dollar is discovered and......

PerryHall

What if a real 1964-D Peace Dollar was discovered and authenticated by PCGS and was stored outside the reach of the Secret Service in a foreign country. What effect would this have on the value of the Dan Carr 1964-D Peace Dollar coins? I'm guessing they would increase in value just as the Norfed Liberty dollars after the Secret Service declared them to be illegal. Thoughts.

They'd cut a check for $10,000 to the submitter, if I recall correctly. I imagine it would be submitted through the Hong Kong office.

It could be submitted in this country by an anonymous owner and then the coin could be hidden. Right?

I'm quite sure HRH has stated that PCGS is not in the business of determining what coins are legal to own, and a coin such as the 1964-D Peace dollar could be submitted and then returned to the submitter.

I think if it were submitted in this country, a TPG might turn it over to the Treasury Department... or become party to concealing contraband....I am not a lawyer, but that seems logical...especially in light of the 1933 Gold Eagle debacle. Cheers, RickO

Or pcgs could just keep it.
What could the submitter do?

Wouldnt it be like someone suing cause someone stole their drugs?
I dont think there is a coin mafia...

I'm surprised that anyone would suggest that PCGS would steal a coin that someone submitted for authentication and grading.

I's surprised anyone would think that was serious.

That is an apples and oranges comparison. A better comparison would be: What effect did the Secret Service seizure have on Replica Norfed Liberty dollars?

You really can't be sure on that can you?

To get back to the original question, I think that your hypothetical situation would condemn the Carr 1964-D dollars as counterfeits subject to seizure by the Secret Service. Can't see how that would increase their value.

Sorry. I didn't see a or a so I assumed you were being serious.

Don't some coin collectors collect counterfeits? Doesn't the ANA have counterfeits in their reference collection for teaching their counterfeit detection and authentication course? I doubt the Secret Service would care about these coins unless someone was trying to sell one as a real mint made product which would be considered to be fraud.
