    Description

    This coin is over-struck on a genuine (circa 1922-1935) US Mint Peace Silver Dollar.
    Only 379 of these Die Pair #6 over-strikes in high grade were made, and they are now sold out.  My original invoice dated 11/5/2010 states "Individually handled, MS-68+".
    The coin has only been handled with white cotton gloves and has been encapsulated in a Whitman holder to protect it.
    The coin in the photos is the exact item that you will receive, not a stock photo.  I did two different exposures to show the coin as best I could.  You are buying only one coin, not two.
    This item will be shipped within 1 business day by USPS Priority Mail.
    Description from Daniel Carr's original Moonlight Mint listing:
    The 1964-D Peace silver dollar is one of the most enigmatic coins in history. On August 3 1964 legislation was enacted authorizing 45 million new silver dollars to be coined. In May 1965 the White House finally ordered some to be produced and the Denver Mint soon minted 316,076 of the coins which carried a 1964 date and a design identical to the Peace silver dollar last minted from 1921-1935. Shortly after the first mintage, an order went out to destroy them. The Treasury Department claims every one was accounted for and melted. None have publicly surfaced in the 45 years since. If an original 1964 Peace silver dollar were to turn up, it would be subject to immediate confiscation since it would be assumed to be stolen government property.
    This modern over-strike "1964-D" Peace is the most exacting and faithful rendition ever produced. Holding this item in hand gives the viewer a true sense of what it would be like to own an original 1964-D Peace silver dollar.
    Since these are over-struck on genuine coins, they have the correct weight (no metal is added or removed), correct metallic content, and correct diameter and edge type. There may be faint evidence of the original coin design showing since the over-strike is usually not perfectly aligned with the original strike. All the over-strikes are privately and painstakingly performed using a surplus Denver Mint coin press.
