Premium quality, individually-handled, consistent with MS-67 grade.
Some evidence of underlying host coin design will likely show somewhere, such as forehead,
front of neck, back of neck, and/or Eagle's shoulder. Housed in a non-PVC "flip" holder with
certificate indicating "High-Luster Finish".
Final mintage (of all issues combined, high-grade and bulk-handled) will be limited to no more than 950. Orders will be accepted until June 30, or until the mintage limit is reached, whichever occurs sooner.
This "1965-D" Peace Dollar over-strike commemorates the 50th anniversary of the orignal 1964-D Peace Silver Dollars (which were actually minted and melted in calendar year 1965).
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.
Now available is this modern over-strike, the most exacting and faithful
rendition available. Holding one in hand gives the viewer a true sense of what it would
be like to own an original (had any actually been produced). And 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. All the over-strikes are privately and painstakingly performed using a surplus Denver Mint coin press.
NOTE: Defacing of US coins is legal so long as the defacement isn't for fraudulent purposes.
By purchasing one or more of these, the buyer agrees to provide full disclosure of their origin
when reselling them. Failure to provide potential buyers with complete and accurate information when
offering these could result in criminal and/or civil fraud charges. In other words, don't try to sell to unaware buyers as original coins of this date.
Since these are over-struck on existing coins, there may be faint evidence of the original coin design showing since the over-strike is usually not perfectly aligned with the original strike.
Do not attempt to use these as legal tender.

Amazed by my new 1965 Peace Dollar!

Got mine in the mail a few days ago and it was absolutely stunning!! I'd certainly give it 5 stars easily! I have bought DC's coins in the past and in the past I've been amazed but not like this time. I really like the fact that these coins are his own. I mean I am certain that he could make them look exactly like the US Mint does, but that's not his intent. After all these are over strikes and they're not counterfeits. Carry on Mr. Carr, carry on!! ~ fretboard
