    I don't have an original, but I have a Die Pair 9 overstrike, (Thank you Dan!) or is it one of the originals you found trapped in the bottom of the press you bought?? 😁

    Its not a counterfeit.

    1964D PEACE Bucks were recalled and not issued after striking.

    This is a die 9 fantasy made a decade after Carr's earlier 1964 D Peace fantasies were publically made and sold.

    For me its an example of coin art that comes with an obligation to inform any future buyer it's a FANTASY.

    Who is the maker of this counterfeit?

    I recently made some "Die Pair 8" and "Die Pair 9" fantasy-date over-strikes on Peace Dollars. Both were based on the US Mint photo. A Die Pair 8 example was shown a couple posts ago. That die pair was rejected due to a lack of engraving clarity.
    Here is a Die Pair 9:

    I see no remnants of an under strike on either piece. Have you perfected a method of completely obliterating the under strike?

    That’s your opinion. Some feel differently, based on the language in the U. S. Code.

    That is not a very high-resolution image. But some still do show remnants, such as along the front of the neck (when not perfectly aligned). The basic process I use is the same as before, but with a little bit better cleaning.
