"1964" Peace 90% silver over-strike, Die Pair 10, no "D", high relief, Matte Proof

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 60 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.

2025 Update (Die Pair 10 “1964” no "D", High Relief Over-Strikes):
All previous Daniel Carr “1964” over-strikes produced from 2010 to 2020 had a “D” (Denver) mint mark and standard low relief or medium relief. The 2025 issue has full high relief on both sides and no mint mark. The US Treasury has categorically stated that all the original 1964-D Peace Dollars were accounted for and destroyed in 1965. But in the 1970s the Treasury Department indicated that two more 1964 Peace Dollars were destroyed at the Philadelphia Mint or at US Mint Headquarters in Washington DC. This has led some people to question whether or not the Mint really did manage to destroy all the 1964-D Peace Dollars that were produced in Denver in 1965. And if two survived until the 1970s, then perhaps others have survived to this day ? What this viewpoint fails to consider is that the Philadelphia mint likely produced some test strikes circa 1964-1965. The two coins destroyed in the 1970s were likely Philadelphia Mint production, not Denver Mint output. As such, they may have been produced with no mint mark (as were all Philadelphia coins of that era). What if the Philadelphia Mint used the original 1921 Peace Dollar models from their archives in producing the Philadelphia 1964 Peace Dollars ? The “Die Pair 10” issue replicates this scenario, including the inclusion of the original “Broken Sword” and full relief from both the obverse and reverse models. A matte proof version also replicates the original high-relief matte proofs of 1921-1922.

This modern over-strike "1964" 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 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.

All are struck on 90% silver Peace Dollars originally minted from 1922-1935.
